Emirates SkyCargo, the freight division of Emirates airline, has set latest records by operating its longest ever non-stop flight - 17.5 hours from Sydney to New York. Emirates SkyCargo's innovative generation Boeing 777 Freighter operated the service, which arrived on 28th December."Since the Boeing 777F's foreword to our fleet in March 2009, we have been frightened by its range, as well as competence, and this milestone flight is testament to that," said Ram Menen, Emirates' Divisional Senior Vice President Cargo. The Boeing 777F boasts the longest range capability of all twin engine jets, is quieter and uses less fuel per tonne than other freighters, which are all ever more significant as the industry demands more environmentally sound practices worldwide.
"This freighter is part of our long-term investment for Emirates SkyCargo, we are energized about its recital so far and the future possibilities it brings to our services," added Menen.
Previously the longest flight take on by Emirates was a 16.8-hour passenger flight between Dubai and Houston International Airport.
"This landmark flight is especially important for operations in countries such as Australia," added Greg Johnson, Emirates' Cargo Manager Australia. "Being located some distance from many of the world's key markets, a high significance is placed on range capability."
The consignment of extremely valuable horses on EK4931, potentially worth more than the aircraft itself, all arrived at Stewart International Airport securely.
Emirates is the largest operator of the Boeing 777 aircraft in the globe. The airline at present has 86 Boeing 777s in its fleet, as well as two Boeing 777 freighters.
