Emirates SkyCargo has announced that it will be reactivating its cargo hub in Dubai South for dedicated freighter aircraft operations from Saturday.
The Emirates SkyCentral DWC move will mark a return to dual hub cargo operations in Dubai for the air cargo carrier after a period of nearly two years.
In April 2020, Emirates SkyCargo consolidated its freighter and passenger cargo operations at Dubai International Airport (DXB) in light of the suspension of passenger flights during the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The consolidation was aimed at streamlining and expediting the transport of essential supplies and medical items across the world, a statement said.
It added that with the recovery of Emirates’ passenger network and operations, as well as the progressive increase in cargo volumes, Emirates SkyCargo will again structure its operations across two hubs in Dubai – with Emirates SkyCentral DXB handling cargo arriving or departing on passenger aircraft and Emirates SkyCentral DWC handling cargo on freighter aircraft.
Emirates SkyCentral DWC was inaugurated in 2015 and has a total cargo capacity of more than 1 million tonnes per annum.
The terminal features extensive cool chain handling facilities as well as a dedication pharma handling zone certified for EU GDP standards.
Emirates SkyCargo is the air freight division of Emirates, offering cargo capacity to customers on its fleet of all widebody Boeing 777 and Airbus A380 aircraft over a global network of more than 140 destinations across six continents.
