Emirates SkyCargo has introduced a weekly Boeing 777 freighter service to Copenhagen Airport in response to demand from Denmark. The new service expands the carrier’s freighter network to 38 destinations.
The route, which began on January 1, 2025, provides approximately 85 tonnes of cargo capacity from Copenhagen and serves neighbouring Norway and Sweden.
The service marks an upgrade from the previous belly-hold capacity in passenger aircraft, the Dubai Media Office said in a statement.

The cargo division of Emirates reported a 20 per cent growth in volume from Denmark during the last financial year, with pharmaceutical shipments driving the increase.
Copenhagen functions as Europe’s northern hub for pharma logistics, supported by its life sciences production industry and cold chain infrastructure.
The airline will transport various cargo types through its product portfolio, including general cargo, pharmaceuticals, and temperature-controlled perishables such as fish and food items.
“Demand has been strong across Scandinavia, with particular growth in Copenhagen, and we expect this to continue into the next financial year and beyond. Bolstering our operations to Copenhagen with a dedicated freighter, ensures that we are able to serve the current demand, and support our customers in reaching a large number of markets across the globe,” Mette Jensen, Cargo Manager for Scandinavia, Emirates SkyCargo said.
The carrier operates 38 dedicated freighter flights per week to 11 European destinations, alongside more than 485 passenger flights weekly.
Flight EK9746 arrives in Copenhagen Airport on Wednesdays at 12:35 AM and departs for Dubai World Central at 15:05 PM.
