Dubai, UAE – Emirates SkyCargo has launched AI Tech, a specialised air cargo product designed to move the physical infrastructure behind artificial intelligence. The product was announced in Dubai on 3 November 2026.
What it carries
AI Tech covers AI server racks, semiconductors and chips, GPUs, capital equipment and other critical hardware. Server racks alone often weigh more than 3.5 tonnes, making careful handling essential.
Key features
- Globally standardised handling procedures that keep equipment upright and reduce damage risk
- Priority loading and scheduling for time-critical data centre deployments
- Airport-to-airport visibility, with milestones tracked from Emirates SkyCargo’s Dubai command centre
- Proactive customer communication throughout the journey
- Project cargo support for oversized and heavy shipments
Capacity and network
The product is available across Emirates SkyCargo’s global network for most AI-related cargo, using both its freighters and the belly space of Emirates’ wide-body passenger fleet. Highly specialised manufacturing equipment requires advance station capability checks. The carrier moved more than 700 tonnes of AI infrastructure across its network in July and plans to operate 23 dedicated freighters by March 2027.
Why it matters
With data centres being built at speed across the Gulf and worldwide, getting expensive, delicate hardware delivered quickly and safely has become a bottleneck. A dedicated product positions Dubai as a logistics hub for the AI supply chain.
