Etihad to sell cargo aircraft as it shapes new vision - The National:

Etihad plans to sell half of its cargo plans after grounding them earlier in the year as part of a review of its operations, a company official said on Tuesday.

The Abu Dhabi airline grounded its five A330 Airbus freighters and is now focusing exclusively on the remaining five Boeing 777 fleet, Abdalla Shadid, managing director of the company’s Cargo and Logistics Services told The National.

 "Earlier this year we made the decision to exit the fleet of five freighters," he said at the Farnborough International Airshow in the UK. "These have been grounded pending a sale and we are in advanced discussion with buyers for their sale. Hope it will materialise soon and the aircraft will exit our fleet.”
