According to Amac News: To meet this growing global demand, this airline has leased two Boeing 747 cargo planes, which will begin in 2025 with a 15% increase in the main cargo capacity compared to January 2024.
Badr Abbas, Senior Vice President, Emirates SkyCargo, said: "During 2024, we made significant investments in new and leased cargo aircraft to meet the evolving demands of the global air cargo and supply chain."
He added: "We anticipate that demand will continue to increase and this reflects the importance of Dubai as a global logistics hub."
A multi-year lease for the Boeing 747s has been signed with Compass Group, a long-time partner of Emirates SkyCargo. This investment in additional Boeing 747F capacity will allow the airline to provide immediate capacity to meet customer demand, while the partners continue to explore ways to expand the partnership.
