With the rapid scaling up of its cargo network to close to 60 destinations across the world, Emirates SkyCargo is taking additional measures to ensure the safety of its employees and operations during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The video below outlines SkyCargo’s safety measures.

In addition to setting up thermal body temperature scanners at key locations at its hub in Dubai, the air cargo carrier has now also set up four sanitisation tunnels for employees and visitors to go through prior to entering the Emirates SkyCentral cargo terminal at Dubai International Airport.

Emirates SkyCargo is also carrying out continuous disinfection of its cargo terminal- including the cargo handling and storage areas as well as the customer reception centres and cargo drop off/ pickup zones.

Henrik Ambak, Emirates Senior Vice President, Cargo Operations Worldwide said: “Emirates SkyCargo will always put safety first ahead of all other considerations. Over the last few weeks we have scaled up our operations to a position where we are handling around 3,000 tonnes of cargo on a daily basis."

Emirates SkyCargo is currently operating scheduled flights on its Boeing 777-F and Boeing 777-300ER aircraft to close to 60 destinations worldwide.
