ETIHAD ‘EXTENDS’ THE HELPING HAND

In order to fulfil the demand of vaccine types provided by Pfizer, Moderna and Sputnik vaccines, Etihad Cargo was granted an approval from UAE General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) for carrying more dry ice. This approval will play a key role in transporting the vaccines as it will allow Etihad’s both Boeing Dreamliner and Boeing 777 fleets to carry upto 5x more dry ice. Dry ice, being a dangerous good, can emit Carbon Dioxide while transportation, so the challenge will stand for the airlines and the forwarding agents to prepare shipments with utmost care. The Etihad Group believes that these upcoming operations will hold credibility in assuring product integrity and will be a game changer during these times.
