Emirates SkyCargo has introduced a weekly freighter service to Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso which will enhance current bilateral trade links between the UAE and Africa.

Ouagadougou is the 27th African destination to join the Emirates SkyCargo network.

“The addition of a dedicated freighter service is a major milestone in Emirates SkyCargo’s growth in Africa, creating more opportunities for importers and exporters across local markets and onto our worldwide network,” said Nabil Sultan, Emirates Divisional Senior Vice President, Cargo.

Via its advanced cargo handling and storage facilities at its hub in Dubai, Emirates SkyCargo anticipates transporting goods into Burkina Faso such as pharmaceuticals and electronics from cities as far as Mumbai and Guangzhou, and bringing local products and commodities such as mangoes and fresh beans from Burkina Faso to cities like Frankfurt and Dubai.
