Emirates SkyCargo also reaffirmed its commitment to remain a strong partner to Spanish exporters in the years to come.

Emirates SkyCargo commenced freighter operations in Spain in July 2007 with scheduled flights to Zaragoza. Due to an increase in demand, the carrier eventually established freighter services to Madrid and Barcelona in addition to the cargo capacity provided on passenger flights to the two cities. In 2021, Emirates SkyCargo exported more than 30,000 tonnes of cargo from Spain, more than 1,750 tonnes of which were fruit and vegetables.
