Etihad Cargo has launched a freighter service between Abu Dhabi and Phnom Penh.

The new weekly flight, which is routed via Singapore on the eastbound leg, is operated with an Airbus A330-200F, capable of carrying up to 64 tonnes of cargo.

“Freight demand on the Asia-Europe trade corridor is among the strongest in the world,” said David Kerr, senior vice president of Etihad Cargo. “With Cambodia being a fast-developing export economy, transporting goods and services to the world’s big consumer markets is vital to support the country’s dynamic growth. Etihad Cargo is delighted to add Cambodia to our Asian network of freighter and passenger destinations.”

The flight is mainly targeted at the country’s garment and footwear industry.

Phnom Penh is Etihad Cargo’s 15^th Asian destination.
