Emirates SkyCargo has significantly expanded its freighter network across East and Southeast Asia, adding capacity to key manufacturing and trade hubs. The carrier doubled weekly frequencies to Tokyo's Narita Airport from one to two flights, targeting Japan's automotive, electronics and pharmaceutical sectors. Service to Hong Kong increased to 37 weekly freighter flights, while Taiwan capacity doubled to twice weekly from Taipei. Emirates SkyCargo also resumed once-weekly freighter operations from Singapore via Mumbai to Dubai and launched three weekly flights from Zhengzhou in central China. The carrier continues to operate once-weekly service to Bangkok and maintains four weekly flights to Hanoi. The expansion reflects growing demand linking Asian manufacturing centers with Middle East, African, European and American markets. During financial year 25/26, the carrier moved over 439,000 tonnes from 12 East and Southeast Asian markets, up approximately 5% year-over-year.
