Etihad Cargo, the cargo and logistics arm of Etihad Airways,\nhas expanded its U.S. network and will offer increased capacity to the region\nwith the introduction of a new service to Boston, Massachusetts. The carrier’s\ninaugural flight arrived on 31 March, commencing the regular service that will\nsee the airline operate four flights per week to Boston. Boston is Etihad\nCargo’s fourth U.S. destination, and the new route reinforces Etihad Cargo’s\ncommitment to providing tailored cargo solutions to the North American region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new service will be operated on a state-of-the-art\nBoeing 787-9 Dreamliner, which will provide an additional cargo capacity of 50 tons\nper week, catering to the robust demand for freight between Boston and Abu\nDhabi.
