Etihad Cargo switches to Airbus


Etihad Airways has signed a letter of intent (LoI) for seven A350 freighters to add to its existing fleet of five A350-1000 passenger versions. The announcement was made at this week's Singapore Airshow. The UAE flag carrier has also selected Airbus’ flight hour services (FHS) to support its entire A350 fleet.

 

Tony Douglas, group chief executive officer, Etihad Aviation Group: "As our cargo operations continue to overperform and we work towards a more sustainable future built upon the world’s youngest and most fuel-efficient fleet, the addition of the A350F will play a key role in driving our long-term cargo strategy and achieving our 2035 target to reduce CO₂ emissions by 50%."

 

Etihad's full freighter fleet currently consists of five B777F. To date, the A350F has won firm orders and commitments for 29 aircraft from five customers. (ah)
