Emirates SkyCargo moves 600 mn Covid vaccine doses to 80 destinations
December 21, 2021: Emirates SkyCargo has announced that it has crossed a major milestone in the global distribution of Covid vaccines with 600 million doses flown on its flights. Since October 2020, the carrier has transported more than 2.8 million kilograms (2800 tonnes) of Covid vaccines from 35 origins to over 80 destinations.
"Emirates SkyCargo remains committed to the rapid distribution of COVID-19 vaccines to vulnerable communities around the world. When we formulated our COVID-19 distribution strategy in 2020, Emirates SkyCargo prioritised the movement of COVID-19 vaccines through our Dubai hub to developing countries. I'm happy to announce that nearly two thirds of the total vaccines we transported were headed to destinations in Africa, Asia and the Middle East. With our extensive reach across six continents, our wide-body capacity and expertise in cool chain logistics, Emirates SkyCargo will continue to be a reliable partner for the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines in the months to come," said Nabil Sultan, Emirates Divisional Senior Vice President, Cargo.
