Emirates SkyCargo introduces new freighter service connecting Milan with New York
Operated by Boeing 777-F and offering around 100 tonnes of capacity per flight, the flight aims to meet growing demand for exports from Northern Italy and the Lombardy region.
Emirates SkyCargo has announced a new weekly freighter service connecting Milan (MXP) and New York (JFK) from 5th December 2026.
The service provides direct trade connectivity for exporters from Italy, particularly the Lombardy region, to the United States, one of the country’s most important trading partners. Additionally, on the return leg, the freighter also provides businesses in the US, particularly in the greater New York region, with more export connectivity to markets in the Middle East and Asia via Dubai.
Badr Abbas, Divisional Senior Vice President, Emirates SkyCargo, said: “Milan is a key air cargo gateway for Italy and Europe where Emirates SkyCargo currently offers over 500 tonnes of weekly export capacity to global markets, including over 100 tonnes weekly bellyhold capacity on our passenger flights to New York. The new freighter service adds important maindeck capacity on a vital trade corridor offering exporters greater access, flexibility and reliability when serving customers in the United States.
“Exports from the Greater New York region have seen strong growth, reflecting robust demand for reliable access to international markets. By combining enhanced freighter capacity with our extensive network of freighter and passenger services through Dubai, we are enhancing connectivity for pharmaceuticals, e-commerce, perishables and machinery from the US, while creating faster links to destinations across the Middle East, Asia and beyond.”
