The air cargo carrier has helped import more than 34,000 tonnes of food into the country between January and April 2020, out of which 13,000 tonnes were imported between March and April. In the month of April alone, Emirates SkyCargo helped bring in food supplies into the UAE from over 35 countries around the world.
"Despite the severe reduction in the number of flights we operate and the resultant reduction in the amount of cargo capacity we can work with, we have given top importance to maintain food supplies in the UAE as we consider this our responsibility. Through our regular cargo flights from major food production markets such as Australia, Egypt, India, Kenya, Pakistan and many other nations, we have been able to import quality food items. This has helped keep store shelves in the UAE well stocked with the familiar and comfort food items that puts a smile on people's faces. We are also thankful to the support from the various UAE authorities who have helped facilitate these imports during such critical times," said Nabil Sultan, Emirates Divisional Senior Vice President, Cargo.
Emirates SkyCargo is currently operating flights to around 60 global destinations on a scheduled basis and to many more destinations as charter and ad hoc operations. Food bound for the UAE is loaded on these flights from markets across the world. With its access to expertise in specialised handling for perishables through its Emirates Fresh product, Emirates SkyCargo ensures that the produce reaching the UAE maintains its freshness during transit.
Some of the food imports that Emirates SkyCargo has facilitated since the start of the year include:
> More than 5,200 tonnes of food from Australia including chilled meat and fruits such as grapes and melons
> Close to 2,500 tonnes of food from Egypt including fresh fruits such as strawberries, guavas and vegetables including sweet potatoes
> More than 4,000 tonnes of food from India including fresh vegetables and fruits
> More than 2,500 tonnes of food from Kenya including fresh fruits such as pineapples and mangoes and meat
> Close to 1,600 tonnes of salmon from Norway
> Over 4,500 tonnes of food from Pakistan including chilled meat, fish and vegetables
