Services will be launched on 7 January, adding 100 tonnes of capacity and making Paris the 12th destination in Etihad Cargo’s freighter network.
The Paris flights will provide connections to Ezhou, Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong, Hanoi and Zhengzhou via Abu Dhabi.
Services will be integrated with an extensive road feeder network across China.
The route will support specialised products and meet growing demand across different industries.
It will provide more capacity for general cargo to destinations like Riyadh, Jakarta and Manila, pharmaceuticals under the PharmaLife service to Mumbai, Jakarta, Seoul and Sydney, and perishables using the FreshForward service to Kuala Lumpur, Dubai and Sharjah.
The route will also provide connections for live animal shipments with LiveAnimals and SkyStables, automotive shipments with FlightValet, and cultural cargo with FlyCulture.
Stanislas Brun, Vice President of Cargo at Etihad Cargo, says, “This route expands Etihad Cargo's European footprint and also supports the growing demand for Etihad Cargo's specialised products across sectors, including pharmaceuticals and perishables. With the launch of the Paris service, Etihad Cargo continues to deliver tailored solutions and strengthen connectivity for partners and customers worldwide.”
