Atlas Air to provide dedicated 777 freighter capacity to support Etihad Cargo’s growth
Atlas Air recently announced a new long-term partnership with Etihad Cargo.
Under the agreement, Atlas Air will provide Etihad Cargo with dedicated freighter capacity through the operation of a newly delivered Boeing 777 freighter. Beginning August 2025, the aircraft will initially serve routes connecting Hong Kong, Abu Dhabi and Madrid.
The partnership comes at a time of growing demand for general air cargo, e-commerce, automotive, pharmaceuticals and perishable products across Asia, the Middle East and Europe.
The 777F offers state-of-the-art, efficient capacity to support Etihad Cargo’s growth and customer product offering. The agreement reflects the strength of the longstanding relationship between Atlas Air and Etihad Cargo, dating back to 2012 when Atlas Air first began providing flight services over a multi-year period.
Trusted partner
“With our industry-leading fleet of widebody freighters and deep operating expertise, Atlas Air is proud to be a trusted partner of choice, and we look forward to supporting Etihad’s continued success,” affirmed Michael Steen, Chief Executive Officer, Atlas Air Worldwide.
“Etihad Cargo’s expanded collaboration with Atlas Air represents a strategic step in scaling capacity and extending our global reach,” stated Stanislas Brun, Chief Cargo Officer, Etihad Airways.
