Etihad Cargo has unveiled its expanded winter schedule, increasing belly hold cargo capacity across key global markets.
Starting November 2024, the enhanced schedule will introduce additional frequencies to existing routes and a new passenger destination—Nairobi. Etihad Cargo will offer belly capacity on 880 passenger flights per week in November 2024, increasing to over 900 flights per week by March 2025.
Etihad Cargo will enhance its operations with additional weekly widebody flights. In Europe, the carrier will add 36 weekly flights, with destinations including Frankfurt, Paris, Rome and Milan moving to double-daily services.

Additional flights will also boost capacity in Zurich, Manchester, and Düsseldorf. In Southeast Asia, services to Thailand will increase by nine flights, with Bangkok reaching triple-daily frequency and Phuket increasing to 20 flights weekly. In the US, flights to Boston will increase from four to daily.
Etihad Cargo will also upgrade existing services in South Asia and the Indian Ocean. The Malé route, which currently has 14 weekly flights, will switch entirely to widebody aircraft starting from December 15. Additionally, widebody frequencies will increase for Bengaluru from two to three flights per week, and Hyderabad will increase from nine to 11 flights weekly.
