Emirates SkyCargo completes first 100 percent paperless freighter flight

On 27 March Emirates SkyCargo marked a milestone with its inaugural 100 per cent paperless freighter flight between Nairobi and Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

EK9952, which left Nairobi for Amsterdam, was the first flight out of Nairobi with shipments processed electronically. The Boeing 747 freighter carried 103,884 tonnes of cut flowers to Amsterdam, the main market for Kenyan flowers.

E-freight is a collective cargo industry initiative facilitated by IATA, with the goal of removing all paper air waybills, as well as every other document and certificate, by the end of 2014.
