Nabil Sultan, Emirates Divisional Senior Vice President, Cargo said: “We are delighted to appoint Abdulla Alkhallafias the Cargo Manager for our India operations. As a graduate of Emirates SkyCargo’s Commercial Management programme, Abdulla has shown immense potential in his previous roles and we have no doubt that his dynamism and his understanding of the air cargo industry will help drive further growth for Emirates SkyCargo in India. We would also like to thank Keki Patel for his extensive contribution to the business over close to two decades. 

“Emirates SkyCargo’s Commercial Management programme provides a strong grounding and well-rounded exposure for young UAE nationals to the global logistics industry. Traineesare then able to apply this know-how in order to progress to more senior roles within the organisation. We have more than 12 UAE nationals who have graduated from the programme since 2014,” he added. 

Emirates SkyCargo and India

With over 170 weekly flights to nine destinations, Emirates SkyCargo facilitates an important volume of trade between India and the rest of the world. In addition to transporting cargo on passenger flights, the carrier also operates scheduled freighter flights to Mumbai and Ahmedabad. 

In 2019, Emirates SkyCargo transported more than 250,000tonnes of exports and imports to and from the country. India is one of the largest origin markets for pharmaceuticals for Emirates SkyCargo and both Mumbai and Bengaluru are part of the air cargo carrier’s pharma corridors programme which encompasses 25 of the carrier’s most important stations for pharma around the world. 

India also exports a large volume of fresh food and perishables on Emirates’ flights to Dubai and beyond. More than 5,000 tonnes of fruits, vegetables and other produce from India are flown by Emirates SkyCargo to markets in the Middle East and Europe. During summer every year, the carrier flies hundreds of tonnes of delicious Indian mangoes that are sought after in many markets around the world. 

With its all wide-body fleet of 270 aircraft including 11 Boeing 777 freighters, Emirates SkyCargo is able to transport a wide range of commodities – from large engineering equipment to consignments of cashew nuts from India to its global destination network of more than 155 cities through Dubai. The air cargo carrier has also developed a range of special products for industry verticals including pharmaceuticals (Emirates Pharma) and perishables (Emirates Fresh).
