Etihad Airways has ordered seven new generation A350F freighters from Airbus, it was announced on Wednesday.
The latest order further expands Etihad’s relationship with the European company, adding to the existing order of the largest passenger version of A350-1000s, five of which have been delivered.
Tony Douglas, Group CEO, Etihad Aviation Group, said: “In building one of the world’s youngest and most sustainable fleets, we are delighted to extend our long-term partnership with Airbus to add the A350 freighter to our fleet. This additional cargo capacity will support the unprecedented growth we are experiencing in the Etihad Cargo division. Airbus has developed a remarkable fuel-efficient aircraft that, in tandem with the A350-1000 in our passenger fleet, supports our commitment to reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.”
Etihad Cargo achieved a year-on-year revenue growth of 6 per cent compared to H1 2021, contributing 35 per cent of the group’s operating revenue, it announced earlier this week.
