Emirates SkyCargo and Express Trailers transport luxury sports car from Malta to Dubai

Last week, Emirates SkyCargo and Express Trailers, had a special passenger in the belly of the Dubai-bound Boeing 777: a Porsche Panamera.

At the very busy airport in the height of the travel season, fascinated onlookers watched as the Porsche Panamera was meticulously transported across the apron before loading into the cargo hold of the widebody passenger plane.

The luxury sports car received the VIP treatment from the moment its flight was booked. Express Trailers, a well-established transport and logistics companies in Malta, offers a door-to-door service, handling all documentation, handling and screening of the vehicle, before the Porsche Panamera even arrives at Malta International Airport.

Upon arrival at the airport, an Emirates SkyCargo loadmaster who flew in specifically to oversee the shipment, directed the entire operation, ensuring the safe and secure handling of such high-value cargo.

Stephania Galea, Emirates Cargo Manager, Malta commented: “In the past 25 years that Emirates has been connecting Malta to over 140 global destinations, we have supported with several specialist operations, such as the transportation of vehicles, utilising our team of experts and world-class infrastructure. Through close collaboration with key partners, such as Express Trailers, we can serve Malta’s diverse range of freight needs, adapting swiftly to market demands and consumer expectations.”

Jesmond Mifsud, Head of Sales at Express Trailers, added, “Accurate planning, clear communication, and the right choice of equipment, routes, and partners, like Emirates SkyCargo, in the transport and logistics business, are very important because we take risk assessment seriously, which is why customers choose our services.”

Typically, Emirates SkyCargo uplifts an average of 10 tonnes of cargo every day, including High-value temperature control shipments, semiconductors, Valuables, Vulnerable and personal effects, among other key commodities from Malta. However, the local crew are no strangers to high-value and time-sensitive shipments, leveraging the world-class infrastructure and specialized portfolio of fit-for-purpose solutions to ensure goods move from Malta to the world quickly, reliably and efficiently.
