Emirates Cargo?

Hello!

I was wondering, how does one get to the cargo side of Emirates? In particular how can one get to fly a 747 for them?

Thanks!

Emirates don't own or operate the 747F, Atlas do. The only freighters operated by Emirates are the 777 and they are flown by the same crews as fly the passenger versions.

Why so keen on cargo? Our passengers aren't that scary. Well, some are.

Lol ;-)

The passengers I'm alright with, I'm just interested in flying a 747 right now... I guess I didn't know those 74s are contracted thru Atlas.

Hi,

OO-THC & OO-THD are operated by TNT Airways S.A. on behalf of Emirates Cargo.

I think World is operating one 747-400 for EK freight. Also, I believe GSS is now operating one 747-400 freighter.

The big question is what happening when the 747-8s arrive. Who will fly those for EK freight ops???
