The cargo subsidiary of Etihad Airways has actually approved its first Airbus A330-200 Freighter August 9 last in Toulouse (and not during the high-profile ceremony at Farnborough). The aircraft then returned to his new base in Abu Dhabi.



Etihad Crystal Cargo is expecting a second device of the type that will be delivered in October in addition to a dedicated fleet now includes two A300F and two MD-11F for rent.




Etihad Crystal Cargo has seen its traffic grow by 21% in tonnage and 30% in yield since last year, posting a revenue increase of almost 57%.




The company also set a record in July, carrying more than 23,000 tons of goods carried by a rising demand from Pakistan, Australia, China and Bangladesh.




The arrival of the Airbus A330-200F will allow the airline to increase frequencies on Europe and Asia, the new device capable of carrying 64 tonnes of cargo a distance of more than 7400 km.
