Etihad Cargo has grown its US network, offering increased capacity with the introduction of a new Boston service.
The regular service will consist of four flights per week to Boston, which is Etihad Cargo’s fourth US destination. Stanislas Brun, Vice President of Cargo at Etihad Cargo said: “The introduction of the Boston route is a strategic expansion of Etihad Cargo’s US network, offering more belly capacity to partners and customers.
“Boston is an important destination for food and pharmaceuticals, as well as a centre for innovation and development. Etihad Cargo’s Abu Dhabi-Boston service will support the region’s export economy, particularly in facilitating the global distribution of its world-class seafood and breakthrough medical products, and further strengthen trade ties between the US and UAE.”
Etihad Cargo will operate the route on its Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner with additional cargo capacity of 50 tonnes per week, catering to the robust demand for freight between Boston and Abu Dhabi. Etihad Cargo says it will be offering tailor-made solutions for the diverse range of commodities prevalent in the Boston region, with a focus on perishables, medical instruments, pharmaceuticals and aircraft parts.
