Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, based major global airline Etihad Airways has announced that it is to introduce a new route from its home base, to Nairobi, Kenya, with effect from December 15. This new service will be operated four times a week and will be flown using one of the carrier’s Airbus A320 single-aisle airliners. Further, the airline’s cargo and logistics arm, Etihad Cargo, announced that the belly-hold cargo capacity of the A320s operating the new Nairobi route would form a part of a notable expansion in its global belly hold cargo capacity, as a result of its new schedule for the upcoming northern winter season. Airliner belly hold capacity will be offered on 880 passenger flights a week, from next month. This number will rise to more than 900 a week by March next year.
