18 Events maltatoday, TUESDAY, 5 NOVEMBER 2013 Emirates SkyCargo Receives 10th B777F EMIRATES SkyCargo has added a new Boeing 777 Freighter aircraft to its fleet, expanding its capabilities and capacity to meet current needs and long-term growth. This latest delivery brings Emirates SkyCargo's B777F fleet to 10, and comes ahead of the move of its freighter operations to Dubai World Central's Al Maktoum International Airport in May 2014. A dedicated freighter cargo terminal that will be able to handle 700 000 tonnes of cargo annually and various support infrastructure is currently under construction. "Our global network is growing and we are investing in our freighter fleet to meet capacity requirements and future growth. With our fleet of freighters we can offer customers the flexibility and capability to move larger cargo volumes and operate more charter flights," said Nabil Sultan, Emirates Divisional Senior Vice President, Cargo. "Our freighters, coupled with the belly-hold capacity of our all widebodied passenger fleet and vast route network of over 130 destinations, gives us extensive global reach, allowing for greater flexibility, increased frequencies and speed to market," he added. The B777F aircraft is one of the most modern, technologically advanced freighters available and has the lowest fuel burn of any comparable sized aircraft. The aircraft is capable of carrying 103 tonnes of cargo and its main cargo deck is the widest of any freighter aircraft at 3.7 metres, which enables it to uplift outsized cargo and carry larger consignments. Emirates SkyCargo now operates 12 freighters, 10 B777Fs and two B747-400ERFs which currently serve 43 destinations around the world. During 2013, Emirates launched services to Warsaw, Algiers, Haneda, Stockholm and Clark, while Conakry, Sialkot and Kabul will join the network before the end of the year. Emirates flies on a daily schedule from Malta to Dubai. Emirates SkyCargo is located on the First Floor at MIA Departures and can be contacted on tel. no 2166 0102, or at skycargomla@emirates.com No. 10 – the latest B777F to join Emirates SkyCargo's freighter fleet Vodafone Malta Foundation assists the Breast Care Support Group Europa Donna Malta WITH October being breast cancer awareness month, Vodafone Malta Foundation assisted the Breast Care Support Group Europa Donna Malta by providing funds for the printing of the book 'Year of the Pale Sunflower' in Maltese. The Vodafone Malta Foundation also organised a talk for Vodafone employees to help increase the attention and support and most of all raise more awareness with information about early detection and treatment of breast cancer. Gertrude Abela, President of Europa Donna Malta thanked the Vodafone Malta Cisk does Movember MOVEMBER may not have caught on in Malta as quickly as it has around the world, but this year Cisk is bringing the campaign home in a big way. Movember is an international campaign originating in Australia, where men grow moustaches throughout the month of November. Why? To raise awareness about men's health, namely testicular cancer, prostate cancer and mental illness. The moustaches are intended to spark conversations which then allow the Mo Bros (as they are called) to start talking about the importance of keeping healthy, spotting changes in their bodies and being courageous enough to speak up when something is wrong. Participants can also raise funds for cancer charities but the main priority is to get people talking about this sensitive topic in a more light-hearted way than usual. "This is all about raising aware- ness and breaking the taboo still associated with men getting cancer," said Marco Debono, Brand Executive for Cisk. "October is dedicated to breast cancer which has helped raise awareness among women to get checked and spot cancer in its earliest stages when the survival rates are much higher. Movember aims to do the same thing with men, turning ordinary men into walking billboards to raise awareness about men's health." To be part of this campaign, Cisk has printed thousands of moustache stickers which are going to be distributed around the island. This allows men and women to help raise awareness about the cause without having to grow a moustache of their own. "We want to get everyone involved so that all Malta will get talking about Movember and the reasons behind it," said Mr Debono. People are instructed to maximise the exposure of their moustaches by posting a photo to Facebook and tagging #ciskmovember enabling a public photo stream that will surely reach all the corners of the island. If you are interested in getting your own Movember moustache sticker for yourself, your workplace or your organisation, write to Cisk on its Facebook page www.facebook. com/cisk.

The Breast Care Support Group Europa Donna Malta is a vol- untary non-profit NGO and has been active since 1989. Its mission is to raise awareness and support patients and families passing through the trauma of breast cancer.
