Emirates SkyCargo set to add new destinations

Emirates SkyCargo is planning to add new connections between European destinations and the Middle and Far East. It plans to add two further weekly charter freighter services between Milan, Italy, and Southeast China, via Dubai, from the third quarter of this year.  It expects fashion goods and pharmaceuticals, as well as general cargo, to be carried on the freighters. Elsewhere, the current weekly freighter service connecting Dubai World Central (DWC) airport, Maastricht Aachen Airport in the Netherlands and Zaragoza Airport in Spain will now also stop in Beirut, Lebanon, before its return to Dubai. General cargo and pharmaceuticals are expected to make up much of the airfreight flown into Beirut on the service out of Maastricht Aachen, while Zaragoza handles significant volumes of fashion goods and apparel, which can now be flown directly to Beirut.
