Etihad Cargo, the cargo and logistics arm of Etihad Airways, is significantly increasing belly hold cargo capacity across its global network. The carrier’s summer schedule will introduce 23 passenger flights to new destinations and increase passenger flights to existing routes by 77 per week, totalling 100 new weekly passenger flights.
The expanded schedule will offer additional belly hold cargo capacity to markets in France, Greece, Ireland and Spain, and launch a new route to Turkey. In Irish Market additional capacity will be offered from 24 July as three more flights per week are added to schedule, bringing the total number of flights to ten per week.
Etihad Cargo, Vice President Cargo Stanislas Brun, said “With the launch of its summer schedule, Etihad Cargo will deliver significant benefits to its partners and customers, thanks to the added belly hold cargo capacity and enhanced connectivity to key markets. The expansion of the airline’s passenger network, in combination with Etihad Cargo’s regular and charter freighter services, will substantially increase cargo capacity across Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Introducing new routes and increased frequencies will reinforce the connections between Abu Dhabi and major global markets, effectively meeting the growing demand for cargo capacity.”
Etihad Airways operates a mix of Airbus A350-1000, Boeing 777-300(ER), Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner and Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner on Abu Dhabi to Dublin route depending on market demand.
