EMIRATES SkyCargo, the freight division of Emirates, has commenced a new scheduled freighter service from Dubai World Central airport to Maastricht in the Netherlands.
The European city will join Emirates SkyCargo's global freighter network of 40 cities and will become the second freighter destination in the Netherlands after Amsterdam, reported Emirates 247.com.
Emirates SkyCargo will initially operate two freighter flights per week to Maastricht on Tuesdays and Thursdays operated by a Boeing 777 freighter which has a cargo capacity of 100 tonnes. The freighter also allows for the transportation of large and outsized cargo through its wide main deck cargo doors.
Starting end of March, the carrier will raise its freighter frequency to Maastricht to seven weekly flights. The freighter flights to Maastricht are expected to supplement the cargo capacity offered on freighter and passenger aircraft to Amsterdam as well as provide air cargo connectivity to Belgium and Germany. Shipments will comprise general and e-commerce cargo and pharmaceuticals.
"The Netherlands is one of our most important cargo markets globally and the freighters to Maastricht will allow us to build a stronger presence to respond to customer needs in the region," said Emirates senior vice president for cargo Nabil Sultan.
"The vibrant business and logistics community around Maastricht will now have access to seamless trade connections to over 155 destinations across six continents on the Emirates SkyCargo network."
