Emirates SkyCargo continues North America expansion with Milan-New York flight

Emirates SkyCargo is continuing to expand its presence in North America with a new freighter connection between Milan and New York.

The new weekly service between Milan Malpensa and New York JFK will start on 5 December using one of the carrier’s 100-tonne-capacity Boeing 777 freighter aircraft.

The carrier said the service was being launched to serve growing demand for export capacity from Northern Italy and the Lombardy region.

The carrier pointed out that exports from Milan carried by Emirates SkyCargo grew 13% in financial year 2025/26 compared to the previous year and added that New York is the largest air cargo export destination for Italian goods.
