Emirates SkyCargo has added Copenhagen to its growing dedicated freighter network in response to rising demand from Denmark. The weekly Boeing 777 freighter service marks a significant expansion, increasing Emirates' freighter destinations to 38 globally.
Previously served by belly-hold capacity on passenger flights, the new freighter service offers approximately 85 tonnes of cargo space, catering to customers in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. The decision follows a 20% growth in cargo volumes from Denmark last year, largely driven by pharmaceutical exports. With Copenhagen established as a key hub for life sciences logistics in Europe, Emirates SkyCargo’s enhanced capacity and specialized pharmaceutical solutions aim to further support this thriving industry.
Beyond pharmaceuticals, the service will facilitate the transport of general cargo, temperature-sensitive perishables, and other goods, ensuring swift and reliable connections from Copenhagen to global markets.
According to Mette Jensen, Cargo Manager for Scandinavia, Emirates SkyCargo, “Demand has been strong across Scandinavia, with particular growth in Copenhagen.” He noted that this is “expected to continue into the next financial year and beyond. Bolstering our operations to Copenhagen with a dedicated freighter, ensures that we are able to serve the current demand, and support our customers in reaching a large number of markets across the globe.”
With 11 European destinations served by 38 freighter flights and over 485 weekly passenger flights, Emirates SkyCargo remains a key player in connecting Europe to its extensive global network.
Starting January 1, 2025, the dedicated freighter (EK9746) will arrive at Copenhagen Airport every Wednesday at 12:35 AM* and depart for Dubai World Central at 3:05 PM*. Customers can visit skycargo.com or contact local offices for more details.
