Emirates’ to Fly: Dublin to Dubai

STARTING next year Emirates will launch a daily Dublin (Ireland) to Dubai (UAE) service carrying 15 tonnes of belly-hold cargo. Emirates SkyCargo is already active in Ireland, primarily transporting goods through Manchester and London (both UK). Pharmaceuticals, which make up nearly a quarter of Ireland’s exports, are expected to be amongst the commodities carried. Ireland already manufactures and exports Botox to South Africa, the Far East and Australia. Electronic components, computer parts and software contribute significantly to Ireland’s export market and are expected to be among the tonnage when flights begin on 9 January.
