Etihad Cargo recorded its busiest month ever in October, uplifting 53,785 metric tons of cargo during the month.
The airline attributed the new record to growth in perishables traffic from Africa, U.S. inbound and outbound traffic, and volumes from Europe to the Asia Pacific.
The previous record was set in November 2014 and was 501 metric tons less than the volumes the airline handled this October.
Etihad Cargo was established in 2004 and is a division of Etihad Airways. Complementing the belly-hold capacity on its passenger fleet of over 100 aircraft, the airline operates 10 dedicated freighters that fly on scheduled services, which serve North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Australia, the Middle East, the Indian Subcontinent and Africa.
