Etihad Cargo said it will provide additional capacity to key destinations in the summer months across Asia, Africa, and Europe.

The cargo and logistics arm of Etihad Aviation Group noted that from July, Etihad Cargo will continue to operate its Boeing 777 freighter network with flights across Chicago, Dhaka, Frankfurt, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Hong Kong, Johannesburg, Kenya, Milan, Riyadh, Saigon, and Shanghai.

It said that the carrier will also benefit from additional passenger flights on its Boeing 787 and Airbus 350 with 35 direct flights to London Heathrow, seven direct flights to Bangkok, and five flights to Bangkok via Phuket.

Etihad noted that it will offer daily flights to Dublin, Singapore, and Kuala Lumpur. Additionally, more weekly flights to Barcelona, Brussels, Johannesburg, Madrid, Tokyo, and Vienna have been added to the carrier's summer schedule.

"Etihad is operating additional flights during the busy summer period, which will introduce additional belly capacity across key routes for Etihad Cargo's customers," said Martin Drew, senior vice president – Global Sales & Cargo, Etihad Aviation Group.

The cargo carrier noted that as more passenger flights are added, there will also be more capacity for cargo — such as flights to be offered from mid-June to seasonal routes of Greece, France, Spain, and Tanzania.

"Cargo transported during the season will benefit from Etihad Cargo's extensive road feeder service across the US, Europe, and Asia," Drew said.
