Etihad Crystal Cargo, a division of Etihad Airways, will operate its A300-600 freighter aircraft between Abu Dhabi and Nairobi twice a week following a new interline deal with Astral Aviation.
The partnership also gives Etihad Crystal Cargo access to seven Astral destinations across Africa: Entebbe, Zanzibar, Dar Es Salaam, Mwanza, Juba, Kigali and Bujumbura.
The deal, which was signed recently at the World Air Cargo Event in Bangkok between Des Vertannes, Etihad’s executive vice-president cargo, and Sanjeev S Gadhia, CEO of Astral, increases Etihad Crystal Cargo’s network to 59 destinations, nine of which are operated exclusively by the airline’s freighters.
With its fleet of two Airbus A300-600 aircraft and an MD11, Etihad Crystal Cargo has 13 cargo freighter destinations, including Frankfurt Haan, Mumbai, Lagos, Colombo and Milan.
