Emirates Skycargo: 1 billion vaccine doses


Emirates Skycargo has transported more than 1 billion doses of Covid-19 vaccines on its aircraft. The air cargo carrier achieved this historic milestone within a span of 18 months from the first shipment of Covid-19 vaccines trialled in October 2020.

 

More than 4,200 t of Covid-19 vaccines, equivalent to over 1 billion doses, have been moved to over 80 destinations on over 2,000 Emirates flights. Close to two-thirds of the 1 billion doses were transported to developing countries.

 

In February 2021, the carrier signed a MoU with Unicef to prioritise transport and delivery of Covid-19 vaccines in support of the Covax initiative. By early April 2021, Emirates Skycargo had already transported more than 50 million doses of vaccines.( cj)
