Thomas Schürmann, head of operations, Etihad Cargo, said: "Exceeding OTP and DAP targets demonstrates Etihad Cargo's strong commitment to reliability, building trust and being the air cargo partner of choice. The carrier's freighter operations have played a critical role in Etihad Cargo's ability to meet its ambitious growth targets, which has seen the carrier successfully launch new freighter routes to key destinations, including Guangzhou, and offer additional capacity across Etihad Cargo's global network. Etihad Cargo's state-of-the-art Cargo Control Centre monitors the status of all shipments in real time and tracks shipments, flights and road feeder services to enhance the carrier's DAP promise to partners and customers."
