Etihad Cargo Eyes Huge European Road Service Expansion

Etihad Cargo has appointed Wallenborn Transports as its road feeder service (RFS) partner for Europe to expand its scheduled and specialised services across 27 countries.

The move facilitates the transportation of cargo between Etihad Cargo's main European gateways, including Amsterdam, Paris and Frankfurt, and offline stations.

Etihad Cargo's customers will "...benefit from the complete transparency provided by integrated telematics technology", according to the company.

Etihad Cargo's Head of Cargo Operations and Delivery Thomas Schürmann said: "Providing seamless connectivity between Etihad Cargo's European main freighter gateways and offline destinations is essential to meeting the carrier's delivery promises.

"Strategic partnerships with leading RFS providers such as Wallenborn strengthen Etihad Cargo's value proposition and will enable the carrier to further expand operations in Europe, which is a key territory for the airline.

"Etihad Cargo remains committed to being the air cargo partner of choice and is achieving this through the provision of fast, efficient and reliable transportation of cargo from its arrival in-country to its final destination."

Etihad Cargo has entered into strategic partnerships with RFS providers around the world to bolster its operational footprint and ensure the efficient end-to-end journey of cargo.

The new partnership with Wallenborn will enhance the carrier's capabilities in Europe and will enable Etihad Cargo's customers to benefit from specialised logistics solutions.
