Initially, cargo services to and from Nagoya will be carried as belly-hold freight on the B777-200 aircraft, switching to the A340 500 on 29 October. The service will operate daily starting 01 July, 2006.
Nagoya and its surrounding area, positioned in Japan’s central region, accounts for nearly one quarter of all product shipments, which adds up to a very high demand for cargo capacity. The destination is also home to most of the Japanese automobile and consumer goods manufacturers.
The airline will carry automobile parts and spares, consumer electronics and office equipment from Japan to the Middle East, Europe and Africa. To Japan, the division will transport perishable foods, frozen salmon and tuna, cut flowers, nuts, carpets and pet food.
“Nagoya and the surrounding region is a leader for Japan’s industrial and manufacturing sectors. Vast quantities of air cargo move through, and are produced in the area. The city’s central location and the recent opening of its Central Japan International Airport provide strong growth opportunities for us,” said Peter Sedgley, vice president, Emirates Cargo Commercial Operations.
