Etihad Cargo and DHL have agreed to share capacity on DHL’s new five times a week freighter service operating through Abu Dhabi.
The new cargo services use DHL’s Airbus A300-600 freighter fleet, and operate from Bahrain to Abu Dhabi and onwards to Bagram, Lahore, and Karachi and back to Abu Dhabi, where cargo can transfer onwards to Etihad Cargo destinations across the globe.
The DHL Abu Dhabi service started in January 2014 and has already resulted in improved transit times for DHL cargo coming to the UAE from cities in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and North America.
DHL shipments from the United States to Abu Dhabi now arrive half a day earlier, providing customers with an improved 48-hour timeframe for door-to-door deliveries.
