Emirates SkyCargo has introduced two weekly flights to Nairobi
as demand for freight transport grows amid low capacity, coming as a
major boost to local exporters.
The carrier is using
its passenger aircraft from Nairobi to Dubai to evacuate cargo, making
it one of the few airlines that are still operating in the route after
many operators pulled out due to the Covid-19 disruption.
The
airline has established this short term schedule, which utilises the
bellyhold capacity on its wide body Boeing 777-300 ER passenger aircraft
to supplement the cargo capacity offered by its freighter aircraft from
Nairobi and Eldoret.
“As an extremely agile and
customer-focused business, we are very committed in supporting the
Kenyan economy and helping local businesses maintain continuity by
keeping their supplies running across essential industries,” said Saeed
Abdulla, Emirates cargo manager, East Africa.
