Etihad Cargo, SF Airlines boost connectivity on Abu Dhabi-Ezhou route

Etihad Cargo has expanded its partnership with China's SF Airlines to increase the frequency of flights between their mega hubs, Abu Dhabi and Ezhou.

Etihad Cargo and SF Airlines will also launch a new freighter service between Shenzhen and Abu Dhabi to boost connectivity and capacity between China, the UAE and other global destinations.

Starting July 15, 2024, Etihad Cargo will operate two freighters between Abu Dhabi and Ezhou. SF Airlines will operate an additional freighter from Ezhou, bringing the total number of flights between Abu Dhabi and Ezhou to five per week.

The increased frequency of flights between Ezhou-Abu Dhabi and the introduction of a flight from Shenzhen to Abu Dhabi will provide incremental capacity in excess of 200 tonnes, bringing the total weekly available capacity from the partnership to 630 tonnes.

Stanislas Brun of Etihad Cargo says: "By expanding this strategic partnership with SF Airlines, Etihad Cargo's partners and customers will have greater access to strategic markets in China, the UAE, and destinations across Etihad’s global network. This ongoing collaboration, enhanced by the Belt and Road Initiative, creates great opportunities for deeper cooperation between Etihad Cargo and SF Airlines."

Robert Zhang of SF Airlines adds: “We are excited to announce that the cooperated routes between Etihad Cargo and SF Airlines will expand to six flights per week starting from July as our two companies celebrate the one-year anniversary of our partnership.”
