A youtube video by Emirates shows the fascinating process of uploading the decal on the aircraft.
The aircraft will first fly to Nairobi, Kenya, where it will be loaded with a consignment of flowers destined for Amsterdam – the world’s largest flower distribution centre – the statement said.
While fresh flowers are transported every day, demand amplifies ahead of Valentine’s Day, with Emirates SkyCargo increasing its capacity in the major flower trade lanes every year. The cargo carrier operates four freighters apart from its scheduled daily service from Nairobi to Amsterdam, bringing an additional 350 tonnes of flowers.

“Handling and loading of the flowers is managed by trained Emirates SkyCargo staff helping maintain product integrity during transportation,” the official statement adds.
