Default Emirates SkyCargo Launches Australian Service

Quote:
Emirates Airline’s freight subsidiary, Emirates SkyCargo, has announced that it will operate its first dedicated weekly freight service to Australia from September 12, utilising its new fleet of Boeing 777 Freighters on the route.

The new freighter service, flight EK9920, will fly the Dubai-Singapore-Sydney-Hong Kong-Dubai route on a weekly basis, arriving at Sydney Airport every Monday at 6.30pm.

Wish they would come down to MEL, have yet to see a 777F.

I wonder what they're bringing from Australia to HK. Usually the route is the other way around. But probably not too bad if only once weekly.

EK might not be taking anything back to HKG Will because there could be freight in HKG waiting to be taken back to Dubai.
