Emirates SkyCargo has launched niche capacity cargo operations to fulfil market demand to the Indian Subcontinent and Africa.
The new routes, serving the busy destinations of Colombo, Delhi, and Entebbe, will operate on SkyCargo's A310-300F's with a capacity of 36,500 kg.
Freighter services to Delhi, introduced on May 24th, will operate on Thursdays.
The Colombo service, launched on May 13th, will operate twice a week on Wednesdays and Sundays.
Finally, the new operations will include a second frequency to Entebbe on Saturdays via Nairobi.
The services mark what is expected to be an ongoing series of niche capacity freighter operations to serve certain markets on a requirement-basis with the flexibility that shippers require.
The regular Emirates SkyCargo route network covers 89 destinations in 59 countries. In addition to belly-hold space in Emirates' scheduled passenger services, Emirates SkyCargo's fleet of freighters serve 29 markets on a regular basis including four cargo-only destinations.
