Etihad Cargo has increased its US capacity by adding three weekly flights to John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) from April 24, 2023. The additional flights will bring Etihad Cargo’s total cargo capacity to over 600 tons out of the US per week. The flights will be operated with both Airbus A350 and Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner.
Martin Drew, Senior Vice President Global Sales & Cargo, Etihad Aviation Group said: “The introduction of double-daily direct flights from our Abu Dhabi hub to New York comes in response to increased demand from customers, and Etihad Cargo will continue to explore opportunities to expand its global network and introduce the required capacity.”
Etihad Cargo currently operates 11 flights per week to John F. Kennedy International Airport, which will increase to 14 weekly flights from April 2023, and daily flights to Chicago O'Hare International Airport and Dulles International Airport, Washington. Etihad Cargo also operates two dedicated Boeing 777 freighter flights per week to Chicago via Amsterdam, supported by an offline network.
