E-COMMERCE demand could help propel etihad Cargo to new business heights this year, reports London's Air Cargo News.
Etihad Cargo had a strong peak season thanks to rising e-commerce and electronics demand and the airline is hoping its new relationships covering the sector will help boost performance this year.
Leonard Rodrigues, acting manager director, head of revenue management and network planning, said much of the rise in demand from e-commerce and electronics companies was driven by increased volumes of new smartphone models.
The airline was able to meet this demand with dedicated freighter charters.
'Etihad Cargo reserves freighter availability for these projects so that we have the capability to fully meet demand,' he said.
'This combined with our express and e-commerce capabilities, our efficiency in handling this type of cargo and Abu Dhabi's strategic geographical location makes Abu Dhabi International Airport an ideal hub location for the transit of these charters.'
