Emirates SkyCargo is boosting its presence in Denmark with the launch of a weekly dedicated Boeing 777 freighter service to Copenhagen Airport.
The new service, which started on January 1, 2025, will arrive in Copenhagen on Wednesdays before departing on the same day for Dubai World Central, offering approximately 85 tonnes of cargo capacity for shipments from Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.
This move expands Emirates SkyCargo’s freighter network to 38 destinations, meeting growing demand in the region. Previously reliant on belly-hold capacity in passenger aircraft, the dedicated freighter service significantly increases shipping capabilities for customers.
A major driver of this expansion is the surge in pharmaceutical shipments, with Emirates SkyCargo recording over 20% growth in volume from Denmark in the past financial year.
Leveraging Copenhagen’s role as Europe’s northern pharma logistics hub, the service will facilitate the export of life-saving medicines, supported by Emirates’ specialised pharmaceutical solutions and extensive global network.
In addition to pharma, the freighter will transport a diverse range of goods, including general cargo, perishables like fish, and other food products, ensuring swift, efficient, and reliable delivery worldwide.
Mette Jensen, cargo manager for Scandinavia at Emirates SkyCargo, said: “Demand has been strong across Scandinavia, with particular growth in Copenhagen, and we expect this to continue into the next financial year and beyond.
“Bolstering our operations to Copenhagen with a dedicated freighter ensures that we are able to serve the current demand, and support our customers in reaching a large number of markets across the globe.”
