Etihad Cargo, the cargo and logistics division of Etihad Airways, is expanding its freighter network by introducing a new route to Madrid.
From 15th July 2024, Etihad Cargo will operate two weekly Boeing 777 freighter flights between Abu Dhabi and Madrid, adding over 200 tonnes of cargo capacity for Europe.
The introduction of a twice-weekly freighter service will increase the total number of flights to Spain to 25 per week.
This new route supplements Etihad Cargo’s current network of European freighter services, which includes six weekly flights to Amsterdam and three weekly flights to Frankfurt. With Madrid joining the network, the total number of Etihad Cargo’s freighter flights to Europe will rise to 11 per week.
Stanislas Brun, Vice President of Cargo at Etihad Cargo, remarked, “The launch of Madrid as Etihad Cargo’s latest European freighter destination reflects the growing demand for e-commerce connections between Asia and Europe. Madrid’s position as a major fashion centre makes it a crucial addition to the carrier’s freighter operations.”
