As the air cargo industry gathers in Singapore at Air Cargo Southeast Asia, Emirates SkyCargo reflects on over 30 years of connecting to the region, developing trade flows and connecting manufacturers, traders and exporters with businesses all over the world.
Ravishankar Mirle, Vice President Cargo Commercial, Emirates SkyCargo – Far East and Australasia: “Markets in Southeast Asia were amongst the early additions to the Emirates network, back when we were a young airline, as we saw the opportunities to create reciprocal business opportunities for customers in the region with global economies. Since then, we’ve gone from strength to strength.”
Emirates SkyCargo first began operations to Southeast Asia on June 17, 1990 with direct flights between Dubai and three destinations: Singapore, Bangkok and Manila. Over the next three decades, the airline steadily scaled operations, increasing capacity, gateways, and frequencies to better serve local and global customers and strengthening trade lanes between East and West.
