The collaboration also supports flydubai Cargo’s ongoing digitalisation efforts, enabling freight forwarders to enjoy faster quoting and booking processes, along with an enhanced end-to-end experience.
Launched in 2012, flydubai Cargo operates to over 150 destinations across 53 countries, including the regions Africa, Central Asia, the Caucasus, Europe, the GCC, and Southeast Asia. In 2024, the carrier added new routes to Al Jouf and The Red Sea in Saudi Arabia, Basel in Switzerland, Islamabad and Karachi in Pakistan, Kerman and Kish Island in Iran, Langkawi and Penang in Malaysia, and Mombasa in Kenya.
Additionally, flydubai Cargo’s recent order of 30 Boeing 787 Dreamliners is set to significantly increase its cargo capacity in the coming years.
The airline currently operates 88 Boeing 737 aircraft from its Dubai hub, offering coordinated scheduling, ground-handling partnerships, and interline agreements. For freight forwarders, flydubai Cargo provides services to key destinations such as Beirut, Colombo, Doha, and Salalah, with swift cargo transfers available at Dubai, where shipments can be moved from one flight to another in just an hour.
