Etihad Crystal Cargo, a division of Etihad Airways, recently launched a weekly service from its hub at Abu Dhabi International Airport to N’djamena, the capital of the Republic of Chad.

The service will operate every Monday to N’djamena. Etihad will be deploying an MD11 freighter with a payload of 88 tonnes on the route.

N’djamena will be Etihad’s first cargo-only destination in Chad and in the region of central Africa.

“Trade and business ties between the UAE and Chad continue to grow and we look forward to developing our local partnerships and build a strong customer base in the country, which is widely considered one of the region’s fastest growing economies,” said Des Vertannes, executive vice president of Cargo. – TradeArabia News Service
