The service will start this Thursday (16 May) using a Boeing 747 operating every Thursday, flying to Dubai World Central.
In June, the frequency will increase to three times a week with flights on Tuesdays and Fridays using a Boeing 767-300BDSF.
Operations in Dubai will be operated by GSA GLOBAL CARGO, which will provide capacity management and local expertise.

This initiative is a natural extension of our successful service between Mumbai and Liege, enhancing our global presence.”
The service will provide capacity for general cargo and specialised shipments including aircraft engines, live animals, pharmaceuticals, perishables, dangerous goods, high-tech and e-commerce products.
