Emirates SkyCargo, the cargo arm of Emirates, is expanding its South Asia operations to meet rising demand in Bangladesh and India.<\/p>\n

From April 2026, the airline will launch a dedicated weekly freighter service to Dhaka, enhancing connectivity between Bangladesh and global markets via Dubai.<\/p>\n

The service aims to provide exporters with reliable, scheduled cargo capacity, faster transit times, and improved supply chain resilience, according to a press release.<\/p>\n

As one of the world\u2019s leading garment-exporting nations, Bangladesh is expected to benefit significantly from the additional uplift.<\/p>\n

In India, Emirates SkyCargo will add two more weekly freighter services from March — one to Mumbai and another to Ahmedabad — raising total regional cargo capacity to an average of 3,000 tonnes per week.<\/p>\n

Currently, the airline operates three weekly freighters to India, supplemented by bellyhold cargo capacity on 167 passenger flights per week across nine Indian gateways.<\/p>\n

Beyond air cargo, Emirates has developed an extensive trucking network connecting offline destinations across India. In 2025, more than 1,000 SkyCargo trucks transported nearly 5,500 tonnes of cargo nationwide.<\/p>\n

The airline\u2019s continued investment in freighter aircraft, road feeder services, and specialised solutions, including temperature-controlled logistics, underscores its strategy to support fast-growing South Asian markets.<\/p>\n

Currently, Emirates operates 21 weekly wide-body passenger flights with bellyhold cargo capacity to and from Dhaka, providing seamless connectivity to over 140 global destinations through its Dubai hub.<\/p>\n
