en.Wedoany.com Reported - Emirates SkyCargo has launched a new weekly freighter service to Toronto Pearson Airport, enhancing air cargo capacity between the UAE and Canada. Operating once a week, the route will add approximately 100 tonnes of additional export capacity for Canada, supplementing existing cargo carried in the belly-hold of passenger aircraft.

The new flight departs from Dubai World Central every Friday, stops at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, and then arrives in Toronto, with the return leg flying directly to Dubai. The stop in Amsterdam allows for the connection of cargo between Europe and Canada, linking the three major markets of the UAE, the European Union, and Canada.

Badr Abbas, Senior Vice President of Emirates SkyCargo, stated: "The launch of our freighter route to Toronto marks a significant milestone as we continue to strategically expand our fleet and network in line with evolving trade corridors." Kurush Minocher, Chief Commercial Officer of Toronto Pearson Airport, said: "This new service provides shippers with direct, reliable access to one of the world's most extensive cargo networks."

The service is expected to support high-value, time-sensitive goods such as pharmaceuticals, fresh produce, and electronics, utilizing temperature-controlled environments to ensure quality. Since 2023, Emirates has transported over 11,000 tonnes of cargo from Canada via passenger aircraft belly-hold. This route is part of Emirates SkyCargo's global network expansion, with its dedicated freighter fleet having added four new Boeing 777 freighters since March this year, with six more to be added in 2026.
