Cargo division of the Dubai-based Emirates Airline, Emirates SkyCargo recently reached the major milestone for operations to both Norway and Belgium. The air cargo carrier started their services to Norway and Belgium in September 2014 and since then has flown over 235,000 tonnes of cargo to and from these countries, resulting in trade stimulation and local businesses having the opportunity to reach out into international markets.
Norway
Approximately 62,000 tonnes of the finest Norwegian salmon have been transported from Oslo to the Middle East and Asia, significantly contributing to Norway’s seafood industry. Due to the increased demand for the fish, Emirates SkyCargo launched a weekly freighter service on its Boeing 777 freighter aircraft to Oslo from October 2016. Since the Norwegian operations began, Emirates SkyCargo has transported over 105,000 tonnes of cargo to and from the country.
Emirates SkyCargo Cargo Manager for Norway, Mona Kongsvik said, “Since the start of our services, Emirates SkyCargo has played an important role in the export of Norwegian salmon on our passenger and freighter aircraft. However, over the years, our freighter aircraft have also helped transport other outsized items including aircraft engines, large ship propellers weighing more than 10 tonnes apiece, horses and relief cargo for humanitarian missions from Oslo.”
Belgium
Over the last five years, Emirates SkyCargo has facilitated over 60,000 tonnes of exports from Belgium, just one year after initial operations began they started scheduled freighter operations to the city.
