Etihad Cargo announces freighter operations to Hanoi

Etihad Cargo, the freight division of UAE flag carrier Etihad Airways, has started freighter flights to Hanoi’s Nội Bài International Airport, from its hub in Abu Dhabi.

Situated along the Red River delta, Hanoi is the capital of Vietnam, the country’s second biggest city, a major trading centre, and also one of the fastest growing cities in the world. 

The dedicated cargo service will operate every Thursday and Sunday using an Airbus A330-200F freighter, with a capacity of 60 metric tonnes.

Flights en route to Hanoi will stop briefly in Mumbai, while the return service is direct to Abu Dhabi.

Etihad Cargo expects the new service to carry raw materials, consumer goods and perishables to Hanoi, with large quantities of electronics and textiles destined for the Gulf region, Europe and Africa loaded for the return flight.
