Etihad Cargo has expanded its capacity to meet customer demand in Greater China increasing its total flights to and from China from 11 in 2024 to a planned total of 18 in 2025, strengthening trade links between key global markets.
Etihad Cargo’s capacity will be supplemented by a wet-lease 747-F and will support increased freight movements on high-demand routes and provide customers with greater flexibility in shipping cargo to and from key markets.
To accommodate growing market demand, Etihad Cargo has added three additional weekly freighter flights to Shenzhen and two additional weekly flights to London. The expanded operations will improve/strengthen connectivity between China, Europe, and the Middle East, offering increased capacity for the transportation of e-commerce, pharmaceuticals, perishables, and other critical shipments.
The increase in capacity aligns with Etihad Cargo’s strategy of expanding its global network to provide reliable, customer-centric solutions. The carrier remains committed to delivering efficient and flexible freight services while strengthening Abu Dhabi’s position as a leading global logistics hub.

The introduction of the additional capacity and flights to Shenzhen and London Stansted demonstrate our commitment to meeting customer demand with increased availability and connectivity across key trade routes.”
