Emirates SkyCargo, the cargo division of the world’s largest international airline, has introduced a dedicated weekly freighter to Copenhagen Airport.
With this deployment, the network of destinations served by Emirates freighters increases to 38. The Boeing 777 freighter, previously served via bellyhold capacity in passenger aircraft, will boost capacity offered to Emirates’ customers, with approximately 85 tons allocated for cargo from Copenhagen, and neighboring countries including Norway and Sweden.
Emirates SkyCargo has witnessed robust growth in volume of over 20 percent from Denmark in the last financial year, primarily driven by pharmaceutical sector. With a vibrant life sciences production industry and resilient cold chain infrastructure, Copenhagen has established itself as a leading hub for pharma logistics in Europe.

“Demand has been strong across Scandinavia, with particular growth in Copenhagen, and we expect this to continue into the next financial year and beyond. Bolstering our operations to Copenhagen with a dedicated freighter, ensures that we are able to serve the current demand, and support our customers in reaching a large number of markets across the globe.”
The increased capacity coupled with Emirates SkyCargo’s fit-for-purpose pharmaceutical product portfolio and extensive global network will support more pharma exports from Denmark.
In addition to pharmaceutical cargo, Emirates SkyCargo will offer tailored solutions to transport goods through its diverse product portfolio. From general cargo to temperature-sensitive perishables such as fish and other foods, the airline ensures seamless and efficient transportation of goods from Copenhagen to global destinations.
Emirates SkyCargo serves 11 destinations across Europe with 38 dedicated freighter flights per week, complemented by over 485 passenger flights every week. This near-unrivalled frequency and capacity marks Europe as one of the airline’s busiest destinations.
