Emirates SkyCargo, the freight division of Emirates, will carry up to 14 tonnes of freight per flight between South Australia and Dubai when four weekly flights to Adelaide launch on 1 November 2012, significantly boosting trade between South Australia and Dubai.
The additional 56 tonnes will take the weekly capacity to and from Australia to 1500 tonnes and Emirates SkyCargo’s capacity – which includes three dedicated freighter services from Sydney each week - will be further strengthened from 1 March 2013, when the number of services operating from Dubai to Australia rises to 84 per week.
Emirates’ flights to Adelaide will be operated with a B777-300ER, and will rise to a daily service from 1 February 2013, further cementing Emirates’ commitment to Australia.
