UAE-based Emirates SkyCargo has strengthened its operations in Thailand by making Phuket its second Thai gateway. The launch of a daily non-stop flight from Dubai to Phuket on 10 December 2012, operated by an A340-300 with a belly hold capacity of 13 tonnes, will take the weekly cargo capacity into and out of Thailand to more than 640 tonnes spread across four flights to Bangkok and one to Phuket. Phuket, the largest island in Thailand and located in the Andaman Sea, will become the 15th route launch for Emirates this year and the second in South East Asia following the launch of Ho Chi Minh City in June. Emirates currently operate four daily flights between Dubai and Bangkok, including one with its flagship A380 aircraft. EK379 will depart Phuket daily at 00:35hrs and arrive at Dubai International Airport at 04:35hrs and EK378 will depart Dubai at 12:45hrs and arrive at Phuket International Airport at 21:55hrs.     Aircargo Asia Pacific
