Emirates SkyCargo has been making a significant impact on economies worldwide, including the Philippines. “With our vast network of over 140 destinations, Emirates SkyCargo is well-placed to support the Philippines with exports, transporting goods to all corners of the world,” said Amer Alzarooni, Emirates SkyCargo Manager in the Philippines.
The Importance of Air Freight in the Philippines
The Philippines is experiencing steady economic growth, thanks in part to its strategic location between the Asia-Pacific region, Europe, and the Americas. This is especially true in the era of booming e-commerce. A report from S&P Global Market Intelligence highlighted a 5.6% year-on-year growth in the country’s merchandise exports in 2022.
Air freight plays a crucial role here. It’s the preferred method for speedy delivery of goods, whether it’s fresh produce from Philippine farms reaching global stores within 24 to 48 hours or manufacturers efficiently restocking their inventory.
Emirates SkyCargo doesn’t just offer generic services; it provides specialized solutions tailored to specific market segments. Whether it’s shipping fresh fruits and vegetables, delivering life-saving medical supplies, or transporting the latest fashion items, Emirates SkyCargo has the right solutions.
The Philippines is a significant exporter of tropical fruits like bananas, pineapples, and coconuts. These items require temperature-controlled environments to maintain their unique flavors and freshness, and Emirates SkyCargo has the facilities to handle these specialized needs.
Advanced Infrastructure and Global Reach
Emirates SkyCargo operates two cutting-edge cargo terminals with a combined annual cargo capacity of over 2.3 million tonnes. These terminals are strategically located near Dubai’s modern city infrastructure and are connected by a 24/7 trucking network. This ensures efficient transit of all types of cargo.
The company also has extensive cool chain capacity and the world’s largest EU GDP-certified pharmaceutical hub, ensuring even the most sensitive cargo is transported safely.
Looking ahead, Emirates SkyCargo has ambitious plans for the next decade. These include doubling its existing capacity and expanding its freighter network with over 20 new destinations. The company’s commitment to the Philippines is unwavering. It will continue to assess market opportunities to better serve both its local and global customers.
