The new agreement provides Emirates SkyCargo with a dedicated Envirotainer account manager, broad access to R&D and consulting services, as well as high levels of fl exibility to ship across both companies’ networks and beyond.

Emirates SkyCargo has co-operated with Envirotainer since 2003, and the carrier has established specifi c handling procedures to protect temperature-controlled shipments. The announcement about the new agreement coincides with Envirotainer’s decision to make Dubai one of its network stations.

Kuehne+Nagel has been awarded QEP accreditation at 29 stations in Europe and North America and in line with its commitment to gaining worldwide QEP accreditation across its network, the company will also roll out the program at its locations in the Middle East, Asia Pacifi c and South America.
