Etihad breaks its freight record
The freight division of Etihad Airways set a new record in October, uplifting 53,785 tonnes of cargo and surpassing its previous best - in November 2014 - by 501 tonnes.
This reflected growth in perishables traffic from Africa, US inbound and outbound traffic, and volumes from Europe to Asia Pacific.
Just a few days after achieving this record, the carrier enrolled its 4,000th member into its CargoConnect loyalty program.
To mark the achievement, Etihad Cargo hosted a ceremony with the 4,000th customer, Kerry Logistics. Sammy Mak, senior vice president logistics and carrier procurement at Kerry Logistics, accepted 150,000 CargoConnect miles on behalf of his company.
