Emirates, one of the world’s biggest cargo carriers, is expanding its fleet with a new order of five Boeing 777F freighters that will boost capacity to meet “strong” demand with Dubai cementing its position as a global logistics hub.
The airline also signed a multi-year agreement with Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE) to extend the lease on four Boeing 777Fs that are already in its fleet, it said on Monday.
Based on these deals, Emirates’ cargo arm SkyCargo expects to operate a fleet of 21 production-built Boeing 777F freighters by December 2026, expanding its current fleet of 11 freighters.
