Frankfurt (ots)

Beginning today, Frankfurt Airport (FRA) is
offering a new cargo connection to Dubai (DXB) in the United Arab
Emirates.  Because of growing cargo demand Emirates (airline code =
EK/UAE) is deploying the Boeing 747-400F widebody freighter twice per
week on the new Frankfurt-Dubai route. Until now, Emirates has used
its passenger jets to carry airfreight between Frankfurt and Dubai.  
Fraport AG's Aviation Ground Services and Logistics (BVD) division
has been contracted by Emirates to provide cargo handling at FRA. 
With more than 1.6 million metric tons of airfreight and airmail in
2002, Frankfurt Airport ranks number one in Europe and number eight
worldwide (Source: Airports Council International rankings).

services can be found on the Internet at: www.cargocity-frankfurt.de.
