A new freighter route to Madrid
Etihad Cargo, the cargo and logistics arm of Etihad Airways, is expanding its freighter network with a new route to Madrid. Starting 15 July 2024, the carrier will operate two weekly Boeing 777 freighter flights between Abu Dhabi and Madrid, adding over 200 t of cargo capacity for Europe and increasing the total number of flights to Spain to 25 per week.
Etihad Cargo provides belly capacity via ten passenger flights to Madrid, ten to Barcelona and three seasonal flights to Malaga launched as part of the airline's summer schedule. The new route complements Etihad Cargo's existing European freighter network, which includes six weekly flights to Amsterdam and three weekly flights to Frankfurt.
With the addition of Madrid to the network, the total number of Etihad Cargo's freighter flights to Europe will increase to eleven per week. (cj)
