Emirates SkyCargo and United Cargo announce landmark agreement

Following the new bigger historic commercial deal between two of the world’s major airlines, Emirates SkyCargo and United Cargo signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). This collaboration will benefit Emirates SkyCargo and United Cargo air freight customers worldwide.

Depending on regulatory permissions, Emirates SkyCargo and United Cargo will collaborate closely on a number of issues, including extending cargo interline alternatives and blocked space arrangements. This would expand on current cargo interline agreements between both air cargo operators and provide freight customers with access to more capacity on a broader combined worldwide network.
