### Why Choose Emirates SkyCargo?

**Dubai hub advantage:** Dubai’s geographic position between East and West means most global routes transit through a single, highly efficient hub. This reduces handling steps and damage risk compared to multi-hub routings.

**Modern fleet:** The Boeing 777F freighter fleet offers 103 tonnes payload capacity per aircraft, among the highest in commercial aviation. The wide-body belly capacity on Emirates’ A380 and 777 passenger fleet adds significant additional cargo space.

**Temperature capabilities:** Emirates SkyCentral DWC has dedicated temperature zones from -20°C to +25°C, critical for pharmaceutical and perishable supply chains.
