A new Emirates SkyCargo livery featuring a bigger and bolder design has been unveiled on its aircraft for the first time in Dubai.
Emirates SkyCargo revealed the latest layout on a Boeing 777F that arrived without a livery in July 2024 but was put out on cargo operations regardless.
Emirates SkyCargo announced on February 26, 2025, that the Boeing 777F, registered A6-EFV, had finally received a makeover from staff at Emirates Engineering and had rolled out for the first time this week sporting its new colors.
The updated livery took eight days to complete at Emirates Engineering’s in-house paint shop, but by the look of the new jet it was certainly more than worth it.
Emirates SkyCargo said that the most dramatic change was made to the Emirates Group’s iconic UAE flag on the tailfin.
“Now, the design is more dynamic and flowing, with 3D effect artwork; likewise, the iconic gold lettering across the main body in English and Arabic is bigger and bolder,” said Emirates SkyCargo.
They added: “The Arabic calligraphy on the engines remains, as does the iconic red branding on the aircraft belly, ensuring key elements of the airline’s identity remain consistent.”
The Emirates SkyCargo team also released a video of the livery being updated on social media.

“Emirates SkyCargo freighters are some of the most instantly recognizable aircraft in the skies, flying valuable commodities to and from 38 destinations worldwide. The investment in new livery represents our ongoing commitment to modernise our fleet, as we continue to build our capacity and unlock new opportunities to serve our global customers,” said Nadeem Sultan, Senior Vice President of Cargo Planning and Freighters, Emirates SkyCargo.
The new livery, which was first unveiled in March 2023, is the third iteration of Emirates’ iconic aircraft brand colors since launch in 1985.
All 10 Boeing 777 freighters in Emirates’ fleet will be gradually scheduled for their paint jobs and 13 SkyCargo jets on order will arrive emblazoned with the new livery on delivery.
In 2023, Emirates SkyCargo announced it expects to double its existing capacity over the next decade and add over 20 new destinations to its freighter network
