Emirates adds second Sydney freighter

4/13/2012 10:39:09 AM

UAE-based Emirates SkyCargo has added a second dedicated weekly freighter service from Sydney, Australia. A B777 freighter is now flying twice a week on the Dubai-Singapore-Sydney-Hong Kong-Dubai route, providing these key trading points with additional connectivity to Emirates’ Dubai hub and onwards to more than 120 destinations on the carrier’s network. “The demand for a bi-weekly service is a good indication of Australia’s growing importance as a trade partner to major international markets,” said Greg Johnson, Emirates’ Cargo manager Australia. This second service comes just seven months after the introduction of the first dedicated freighter service. The B777 freighter can carry up to 103 tonnes of cargo and will boost the carrier's import capacity to more than 1500 tonnes per week.     Aircargo Asia Pacific
