SkyCargo lifts its heaviest ever single-item load
DUBAI-BASEDEmirates SkyCargo came to the rescue of a ship undergoing repairs when it recently transported a 36-tonne rudder part – the heaviest single item ever carried by the freight division of Emirates Airline. At 9.16 metres long and 1.05 metres wide, the part had to be moved from the
manufacturer in Seoul for essential dry dock repairs to a vessel in Dubai. With the help of Dubai-based charter broker Air Charter International, it was
transported on an Emirates B747-400F from Seoul to Dubai, in the process testing ground-handling operations at both airports to the fullest. “Precision planning
and the combined expertise of everyone involved at Emirates SkyCargo, dnata, Air Charter International and Atlas Air was crucial to the success of this project,” stated Hiran Perera, Emirates senior vice president cargo planning and freighters.
