Emirates’ first commercial flight to Adelaide - part of a new service connecting South Australia to the carrier’s network of over 120 destinations - departed from Dubai on Thursday morning.
The service provides South Australia’s first non-stop flight link with the Middle East, opening new trade opportunities between the two regions.
Initially the service will operate four times weekly increasing to daily services from 1 February 2013. Each flight has an allocation of 14 tonnes of commercial cargo space.
Emirates SkyCargo will move a mixture of commodities from its new port to Dubai and onwards, including perishable goods such as meat, fruit, vegetables, dairy and eggs.
