The East-African city of Djibouti will join Emirates Skycargo freighter network from 18 February. The carrier will operate a once-a –week A310-300F (EK 4805) departing Dubai at 0700 hours, arriving in Djibouti at 0900 hours on the same day.
The freighter, with a gross payload of 39 tonnes, is expected to carry manufactured and consumer goods, machinery and IT equipment from around its network, particularly from the Indian Subcontinent and the Far East. Djibouti exports will include personal effects. The route may expand to include Dar-es-Salaam in the future as demand is evaluated.
Hiran Perera, Emirates’ vice president cargo – freighters said: "This new route represents Dubai's ongoing investment in East-African and a natural extension to support Djibouti's logistics requirements. Djibouti is a medium-haul destination for our A310F freighter route and will compliment our services in the area very well offering sufficient size and optimum speed.”
