Emirates Airlines plans to create a cargo hub at Karachi Airport due to rising demand in the cargo industry.
Sources indicate that Emirates has chosen Karachi as its cargo hub, citing increased demand for cargo services, and has requested 90,000 square feet of space at the airport’s cargo terminal. Emirates leads in cargo volume from Karachi, transporting more than 27,000 tons of cargo in 2024.
Conversely, Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) only managed to transport 2,000 tons of cargo during the same timeframe due to inadequate planning and attention.

The Karachi Airport authority has begun allocating the necessary space at the cargo terminal to Emirates Airlines.
In a related development, Emirates has recently partnered with Etihad Clean Energy Development to initiate a major solar energy project at the Emirates Engineering Centre in Dubai.
The Emirates Airlines initiative, highlighted during the World Green Economy Summit 2024, emphasizes the airline’s dedication to improving energy efficiency and sustainability. Notable ceremony attendees included His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum and His Excellency Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer.
