Emirates SkyCargo further expands dedicated freighter network to Narita International Airport, Japan
  • The launch of the weekly freighter establishes the first direct and regular connectivity between Narita and the Middle East
  • This is Emirates SkyCargo’s third scheduled freighter to Japan, offering a total capacity of 300 tonnes per week
  • The freighter complements the capacity offered in the daily passenger aircraft to and from Narita

Dubai, UAE, 15 April 2025 – Emirates SkyCargo, the cargo division of the world’s largest international airline, has deployed a dedicated weekly freighter to Narita International Airport (NRT), increasing its network of destinations served by Emirates freighters to 38.  The deployment also marks the first direct and scheduled freighter connectivity between Narita and the Middle East, enabling faster and more flexible shipments.

Japan has a well-established and diverse manufacturing industry and has long been a priority market for Emirates SkyCargo, with a twice weekly freighter to Kansai International Airport (KIX). The soon-to-be-deployed freighter to Narita International Airport will boost available cargo capacity by 100 tonnes each way. Expected commodities include automobile and machinery parts, semi-conductor parts and sophisticated pharmaceuticals, transported swiftly, efficiently and reliably via the airline’s multi-vertical product portfolio.

Narita International Airport is the largest air- or seaport in Japan, in terms of value of cargo handled, and, with further investment allocated to the ‘New Narita Airport’ Development Plan, the airport is set to become the region’s foremost cargo hub by the end of the decade.

Badr Abbas, Emirates SkyCargo’s Divisional Senior Vice President said, “Expanding our dedicated freighter network is a key priority on our 10-year strategic roadmap and now, as we start to receive our all-new Boeing 777 freighters, we are able to reach new markets with enhanced capacity.

“Demand for our world-class product and services has been steadily growing in Narita, particularly for pharmaceuticals and consumer electronics, transported in the bellyhold of our daily passenger flight, while large or oddly-shaped shipments such as machinery parts were diverted to KIX. The deployment of this freighter empowers us to better support our global customers with direct connectivity to and through Dubai, while growing our operations in Japan.”

Emirates SkyCargo serves four destinations across East and Southeast Asia with 57 dedicated freighter flights per week, complemented by over 290 passenger flights every week. This near-unrivalled frequency and capacity marks East Asia as one of the airline’s busiest destinations, with further expansion on the horizon in the coming months with additional passenger routes opening between Dubai and Siem Reap, Cambodia; Da Nang, Vietnam, and Shenzhen, China.

Effective from 24th May 2025, EK9413 will arrive in Narita International Airport on Saturdays at 01:00AM UTC, departing for Dubai World Central at 03:00AM UTC. Customers can contact their local Emirates SkyCargo office or visit skycargo.com for more information.
