International airline Emirates announced it transported more than 2,000 tons of export cargo from Zimbabwe to Dubai (United Arab Emirates) between 2018 and this year.
The airline, which operates daily flights from Harare to Dubai, said the latest figures from its SkyCargo division show an increase in export cargo figures from 1,200 tons it moved on the route during the 2017-18 period.
“Latest figures show the airline’s SkyCargo division transported 2,009 tons of out-bound cargo from Zimbabwe, including seasonal fruits and vegetables,” it said in a statement.
Emirates SkyCargo manager, Mr Emmanuel Museniwa, was quoted saying they were delighted that business in Zimbabwe had chosen Emirates SkyCargo as its partner in moving freight: “Carrying more than 2,000 tons of export cargo is an important milestone for us in Zimbabwe, and we are delighted that business in Zimbabwe has chosen Emirates SkyCargo as its partner to transport that important freight, benefiting from our ‘Emirates Fresh’ specialised solutions for transporting temperature-sensitive, perishable goods such as vegetables, fruit and flowers.”
