Emirates SkyCargo, the freight division of Emirates, has doubled its cargo capacity to Geneva with the launch of the airline’s second daily flight between Dubai and the Swiss city.
The new service, launched on June 1, offers nearly 140 tons of additional belly-hold cargo capacity every week to satisfy growing demand for Emirates SkyCargo services between Geneva and the Middle East, Far East and Australia. The service is operated by a Boeing 777-300ER allowing customers to transport large and outsized cargo up to a height of 160 cm.
Emirates SkyCargo currently serves three destinations in Switzerland offering belly-hold cargo capacity to Geneva and Zurich and a dedicated freighter service to Basel. The second daily flight to Geneva takes the total cargo capacity per week on Emirates’ Dubai-Geneva- Dubai route to 280 tons, representing an additional 26 percent to the current cargo capacity by Emirates SkyCargo to and from Switzerland.
Geneva is an important commercial and economic hub housing many of the world’s trading and trade finance companies, a growing cluster of pharmaceutical companies and the headquarters of various international organizations, including the International Red Cross. The region is also home to a number of the world’s leading luxury watchmakers.
Key items exported from Geneva include pharmaceutical products, automobile spare parts, chemicals, electronics, luxury watches and aid-related humanitarian cargo.
Items imported into Geneva include poultry, meat, fish, other fresh produce and garments. Emirates’ second daily flight to Geneva broadens opportunities for local businesses in Switzerland to connect with global customers.
SkyCargo customers have the option of extended drop-off times at Geneva — customers can deliver cargo until 5 p.m. on the day of the flight for general cargo and until 6 p.m. for valuable cargo – and short connections the following morning from Dubai to over 150 world destinations.
