Etihad Cargo expands US capacity with inaugural Boston flight

Etihad Cargo, the cargo and logistics arm of Etihad Airways, has expanded its US network and will offer increased capacity to the region with the introduction of a new service to Boston, Massachusetts. The carrier's inaugural flight arrived on March 31, commencing the regular service that will see the airline operate four flights per week to Boston. The new service will be operated on a 787-9 Dreamliner, which will provide an additional cargo capacity of 50 tonnes per week, catering to the robust demand for freight between Boston and Abu Dhabi. Etihad Cargo will offer tailor-made solutions for the diverse range of commodities prevalent in the Boston region, with a focus on perishables, medical instruments, pharmaceuticals, and aircraft parts. Stanislas Brun, Vice President of Cargo at Etihad Cargo, said: ""The introduction of the Boston route is a strategic expansion of Etihad Cargo's US network, offering more belly capacity to partners and customers. Boston is an important destination for food and pharmaceuticals, as well as a centre for innovation and development. Etihad Cargo's Abu Dhabi-Boston service will support the region's export economy, particularly in facilitating the global distribution of its world-class seafood and breakthrough medical products, and further strengthen trade ties between the US and UAE.""
