Atlas Air has entered a new long-term agreement with Etihad Cargo, providing dedicated Boeing 777 Freighter capacity to support the UAE carrier’s expanding global cargo operations.

The newly delivered 777F will operate routes linking Hong Kong, Abu Dhabi, and Madrid, addressing rising demand for e-commerce, pharmaceuticals, perishables, and automotive shipments across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe.

The partnership builds on a collaboration that began in 2012, combining Atlas Air’s fleet scale and operational expertise with Etihad Cargo’s growing network. The fuel-efficient 777F, with a payload capacity of over 100 tonnes, strengthens Etihad’s ability to scale in parallel with its passenger fleet while advancing its commitment to sustainable logistics solutions.
