||||||||||||
Etihad Crystal Cargo, a division of Etihad Airways, has commenced scheduled services with its first Airbus A330-200 freighter aircraft, operating from Abu Dhabi to Tripoli in Libya. “The A330-200 freighter will reinforce and build Etihad’s presence in the high-growth European and Asian freight markets, in particular China. “Etihad Crystal Cargo is performing very well for Etihad and the entry into service of the A330-200 freighter is an example of our commitment to the growth and expansion of our business.” Etihad is the launch customer of the A330-200 freighter aircraft, and participated in a handover ceremony with Airbus at the Farnborough International Air Show in July. The A330-200 freighter can carry up to 64 metric tonnes of cargo and can fly up to 7,400 kilometres non-stop. Etihad is set to take delivery of a second A330-200 freighter in December, 2010. |
