Abu Dhabi , June 9

EMIRATES SkyCargo now offers its customers scheduled non-stop services and 50 per cent more capacity to New York.

From June 1, Emirates' Airbus A345, with a cargo capacity of 13-15 tonnes, departs Dubai at 0800 everyday to reach New York at 1400, back in Dubai at 2020 the next day. Added to the weekly freighter capacity of 220 tonnes, Emirates SkyCargo now offers a total capacity of 325 tonnes per week, the airline said in a statement.

Mr Peter Sedgley, Emirates' Vice-President Cargo Commercial Operations, said: `` The new services to New York will provide our customers in the UAE, West Asia, India and the Far East additional cargo capacity to and from markets in the east coast of the US.''

Besides New York, Emirates SkyCargo's freighters provide distribution capabilities to cargo-only destinations such as Budapest, Gothenburg, Amsterdam, Liege, Bangalore, Dalian and Taipei.

Other trade routes served by the freighters, to supplement Emirates' passenger services, include Milan, Frankfurt, Dusseldorf, Amman, Istanbul, Kuwait, Mumbai, Chennai, Dhaka, Bangkok, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Singapore.
