Etihad Cargo, the cargo division of Etihad Airways, has been recognised as 'Cargo Airline of the Year' by leading industry magazine, Air Transport News (ATN) recently in Geneva, says a press release in Dhaka.
The award, which is decided based on votes received from across the industry, combined with a verdict made by a jury of internationally renowned industry experts, is in recognition of the commitment made by Etihad Cargo to developing the global freight market.
Etihad Airways' Chief Strategy and Planning Officer Kevin Knight said: "We are honoured to receive this award in recognition of our commitment to working closely with our partners across the industry, ensuring our customers have greater access to new routes and services that enhance the two-way flow of trade and commerce between key and the emerging markets across our global network."
Etihad Cargo extended its reach in 2014 by providing customers with lowerdeck capacity on 10 new services that were launched during the year on its global passenger network.
This will be further extended with the launch of eight new passenger routes during 2015, bringing to 111 the total number of passenger and cargo destinations served directly from its hub in Abu Dhabi.
Etihad Airways began operations in 2003, and in 2014 carried 14.8 million passengers. From its Abu Dhabi base, Etihad Airways flies to 111 existing or announced passenger and cargo destinations in the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia and the Americas.
