Emirates SkyCargo says it is increasing its cargo capacity by 15% in 2025 to meet demand. The additional capacity includes two wet-leased Boeing 747 freighters from Compass Group, one of Emirates SkyCargo’s, enabling the airline to unlock immediate capacity while the partners discuss avenues for further expansion.

The Dubai-based carrier received two new Boeing 777Fs in 2024 and its active operating fleet now consists of 10 Boeing 777Fs and six wet-leased Boeing 747s. The airline also has 13 Boeing 777Fs on order, with expected delivery between 2025 and 2026 and it is exploring options for the Boeing 777-8F and Airbus A350-1000F.
