Commenting on the new facility, Nabil Sultan, Emirates divisional senior vice president of cargo, said: "The space it currently occupies on the land allocated to us at Dubai South is part of a much bigger area, which we can develop over time to increase our cargo handling capacity to achieve our vision of 12m tonnes annually by 2050, from the current 2.3m tonnes." He went on to explain that the facility will help to further establish Dubai as a leading global air hub, located strategically between east and west trade routes, which is convenient for nearby factories and forwarders.
