Mutual benefits for Etihad Cargo and SF Airlines
Etihad Cargo, the cargo and logistics arm of Etihad Airways, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with China's SF Airlines.
Following the MOU, both carriers will start operating flights via their respective fleets to the other carrier’s hub in April, which will enable the UAE's national carrier to expand its reach into China via SF Airline's extensive in-country network.
The new partnership will provide Etihad Cargo’s customers with greater connectivity to 25 domestic destinations in China via SF Airlines’ road feeder service trucking network.
In February 2023, the carrier launched an additional direct freighter service to Shanghai, increasing the total number of freighter flights per week to eight. Etihad Cargo will operate the flights on a Boeing 777 freighter, with services commencing on 28 April 2023 in line with this partnership. (cj)
