Ethiopian Cargo expands freighter ops in Hyderabad & Ahmedabad

Ethiopian Cargo & Logistics Services is growing its network with two new freighter destinations in India. Hyderabad and Ahmedabad will be added to Ethiopian Cargo’s freighter network from May 11, said Ethiopian Cargo & Logistics Services in a LinkedIn post on May 10. “Starting May 11, 2024, we will offer twice-weekly air cargo service to and from Hyderabad and Ahmedabad, our fifth and sixth destinations in India, next to New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and Bangalore,” said the airline.

The last network expansion Ethiopian Cargo & Logistics Services reported was last year, when in November it began operating flights to Gatwick from its home hub, Addis Ababa. Gatwick was the third UK destination for Ethiopian, joining Heathrow and Manchester.

In February last year, it had also begun freighter flights connecting Xiamen with São Paulo and Santiago via Addis Ababa, plus freighter flights between Shenzhen and Liège.

Other investments last year include a new commitment to work towards achieving IATA’s Center of Excellence for Independent Validators (CEIV) Live Animals certification.

Last summer, Ethiopian Cargo also placed its capacity on digital air cargo booking platform cargo.one.
