Partnership with Gulf Concourse

Emirates SkyCargo is also a sponsor of the inaugural Gulf Concourse event that will take place in Dubai on 18 and 19 November 2016. Part of the international Concourse d'Elegance car competitions, the Gulf Concourse is a prestigious platform that brings together a combination of rare classic cars and modern bespoke luxury and supercars, on display for the first time in the region.

Cars participating in Concourse d'Elegance events across the world are normally not driven on a day to day basis and are meticulously maintained by collectors to ensure a perfect appearance for display in private collections, museums or competition events.

This, combined with the high value and uniqueness of the cars, meant that the Emirates SkyCargo team had to ensure that the vehicles were transported with the utmost of care, safety and security. (ANI)
