Etihad adds KLM freighter

2/26/2013 10:15:17 AM

Etihad Airways has signed a wet-lease contract with KLM–Martinair Cargo to provide the UAE flag carrier with a Boeing 747-400ERF freighter.

The aircraft, with a payload capacity of 124 tons, will be used by Etihad Cargo to link the two cargo hubs of Abu Dhabi and Amsterdam, and to increase capacity to Frankfurt, Hong Kong and Dhaka.

The deal follows last October’s strategic partnership announcement in which Air France-KLM and Etihad Airways said they would work together to create value for each airline, which now also includes the cargo business.

The Boeing 747-400 ERF delivery and commencement of operations are scheduled for late March, taking Etihad Cargo’s freighter fleet to seven aircraft. The airline already operates two Boeing B777F, one Boeing 747-400F, two Airbus A330-200F and one Airbus A300-600F.

Etihad Cargo has an additional three freighters scheduled for delivery in 2013 and 2014: one Boeing B777F and two Airbus A330-200F.
