Emirates cargo conversion takes flight

Emirates SkyCargo operated the first commercial flight of a Boeing 777-300 passenger-to-freighter conversion, carrying over 100 tons of freight from Hong Kong to Dubai. The conversion, done by Israel Aerospace Industries, aims to boost cargo capacity and fleet longevity, with more conversions planned. Gulf carriers like Qatar Airways and Etihad Airways are expanding cargo operations due to high demand and long aircraft delivery backlogs.
