Emirates Skycargo launches services to Nagoya
In order to meet the strong demand for services in the Pacific Rim and to Japan, Emirates SkyCargo will launch services to Nagoya, Japan on the 1st of June, 2006. The expansion marks a step towards enhancing economic partnerships between Japan and the Middle East, while further providing an essential air link to the industrial heartland of Japan.
Initially, cargo services to and from Nagoya will be carried as belly-hold freight on the Boeing 777-200 aircraft, switching to the A340 500 on 29th October. The service will run daily starting 1st July, 2006.
Nagoya and its surrounding area, positioned in Japan’s central region, accounts for nearly one quarter of all product shipments, which adds up to a very high demand for cargo capacity. The destination is also home to most of the Japanese automobile and consumer goods manufacturers.
Emirates SkyCargo will carry automobile parts and spares, consumer electronics and office equipment from Japan to the Middle East, Europe and Africa. To Japan, the division will transport perishable foods, frozen salmon and tuna, cut flowers, nuts, carpets and pet food.
The Central Japan International Airport (Centrair) opened in February 2005, built on reclaimed land. As an international airport operating 24 hours a day, it plays a major role in linking Japan’s industrial heartland with the rest of the world.
The Centrair cargo area has a handling capacity more than double that of the previous Nagoya airport and is positioned to be the distribution hub of Central Japan. Centrair has excellent road, sea and rail links to Nagoya and beyond to towns throughout the central region.
“Nagoya and the surrounding region is a leader for Japan’s industrial and manufacturing sectors. Vast quantities of air cargo move through, and are produced in the area. The city’s central location and the recent opening of its Central Japan International Airport provide strong growth opportunities for us,” said Peter Sedgley, Vice President, Emirates Cargo Commercial Operations.
