Emirates SkyCargo says it is on track fto move its freighter aircraft to the new Dubai World Central (DWC) airport from 1 May, following completion of the first phase of the new cargo terminal. The cargo handling system and interiors are due to be finalized shortly and are also well on schedule. With the conclusion of the first construction phase Emirates SkyCargo is currently starting to test facilities and trucking operations between DWC and Dubai International Airport. Initially operations will start with 250 staff, which will be increased to 500 staff upon full operation of the entire terminal.
