Abu Dhabi-based air carrier expands with fourth dedicated service to China Etihad Crystal Cargo, a division of Etihad Airways, said it will launch a twice weekly service from its hub at Abu Dhabi International Airport to Hong Kong, China.
The service will begin Oct. 13 with the carrier’s newly acquired A330-200 freighter, which has a payload of 60 metric tons.
"This new service, our fourth dedicated freighter service to China, is an important strategic addition to our freight network,” said Roy Kinnear, senior vice president of Etihad Crystal Cargo.
