'With our interline partners we have moved all manner of Canadian products from aircraft engines and parts, to vehicles, mining equipment and even live lobsters from Newfoundland,' says Keith Stanley, Emirates SkyCargo, Calgary. 'We have built a strong relationship with the oil & gas industry in Canada, providing service through our worldwide network with connections to our aircraft in London and Frankfurt, among other destinations. Canadian companies will now have better access to the growing opportunities in South Asia, the Middle East and any of Emirates 93 destinations.'
Emirates SkyCargo has utilized interline connections with Air Canada, its largest and prime interline partner, Air TransAt and Zoom with coordination through Emirates' Calgary office. In addition to expediting directly from Toronto, Emirates will continue to use Air Canada across the country to connect with Emirates aircraft in London and Frankfurt. The Toronto flights will improve delivery times and capacity for Canadian shipments throughout the world.
