Singapore Airlines Cargo and Etihad Cargo have
agreed to exchange confirmed cargo capacity on services operated
by both airlines from Abu Dhabi to London Heathrow and Frankfurt.
The agreement enables Etihad Cargo to offer Singapore Airlines
Cargo capacity on one of its weekly freighter services from Abu
Dhabi to Frankfurt, in addition to access to its cargo network to
the Middle East, Africa and Central Asia.
Singapore Airlines Cargo will in turn offer
cargo capacity on its freighter services to London Heathrow that
are operated via Abu Dhabi.
Singapore Airlines Cargo launched weekly Boeing
747-400 freighter services from Singapore to London Heathrow via
Abu Dhabi in June this year. A second freighter service on the
same routing is planned to commence 31 October.
“We are very pleased with this capacity exchange
with Etihad Cargo. It will offer customers of both airlines more
choice of flights to ship their cargo and improve access to the
Middle East, Africa, Central Asia and Germany. We look forward to
further strengthening our relationship with Etihad Cargo,” said Mr Tan Tiow Kor, Senior Vice President, Sales and
Marketing at Singapore Airlines Cargo.
