en.Wedoany.com Reported - Emirates SkyCargo, the cargo division of the world's largest international airline, has announced plans to add 10 Boeing 777F freighters in 2026, nearly doubling its freighter fleet.
The Dubai-based cargo aviation provider currently operates 11 Boeing 777F and 5 wet-leased Boeing 747 freighters. The company stated that the first batch of Boeing 777F aircraft was delivered earlier this year, followed by two more in subsequent months, enabling it to phase out older aircraft and maintain its commitment to operating one of the world's youngest fleets. The first Emirates passenger aircraft has entered a conversion program and is expected to enter service as a full freighter in 2026. By the end of 2026, Emirates SkyCargo plans to operate at least 21 freighters, significantly enhancing its existing cargo capacity.
Badr Abbas, Senior Vice President of Emirates SkyCargo, said in a statement that 2026 will be a pivotal year for fleet expansion, with up to 10 Boeing 777F aircraft expected to be delivered by December, driving the next phase of growth. The influx of capacity presents opportunities for network and flight expansion, allowing the company to more flexibly scale its solutions and create greater value for its global network.
This expansion builds on the addition of more cargo destinations. Emirates SkyCargo has launched services to eight new cargo destinations, including Copenhagen, Narita, Bangkok, Mumbai, Beirut, Conakry, Phnom Penh (KTI), and Hanoi, and has increased weekly frequencies to high-volume destinations such as Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Johannesburg.
The company has also upgraded its road transport fleet, receiving 40 low-emission Euro 6 trucks from MAN Trucks. By the first quarter of 2026, the road transport fleet will add five more hydrogen-powered trucks, marking a milestone in its gradual transition to alternative fuel vehicles.
