Skycargo to double capacity in next decade
Emirates Skycargo has added two Boeing 747-400Fs to its freighter fleet, showing its strong confidence in the global cargo market in a currently volatile environment.
Emirates’ cargo division is expecting 15 more freighters to join its fleet from announced orders and its freighter conversion programme, plus a boost in belly-hold capacity from new passenger aircraft deliveries starting with Airbus A350s in late summer 2024, followed by 777-Xs the year after.
Over the next decade, Emirates Skycargo expects to double its existing capacity, add over 20 new destinations to its freighter network, and offer even more flexibility and services to its customers with a fleet mix of over 300 wide-body aircraft comprising: 777s, 777-Fs, 747-Fs, A350s, and A380s.
