Etihad signs Africa deal with Astral

[ February 7, 2023   //   ]

Etihad Cargo has signed a Memorandum of Understanding African all-cargo carrier Astral Aviation to enhance cooperation on the Abu Dhabi/Nairobi route and extend the Middle Eastern carrier’s reach into the African market. Additional services will be added to the route from 1 April.

It follows the earlier signing in 2021 of a service level agreement between the two carriers for the transport of pharmaceuticals across the continent.

Under the latest agreement, the two carriers will share up to 50% of capacity on the new Nairobi-Abu Dhabi-Nairobi flights,  with Etihad’s Abu Dhabi hub offering Astral  connections around the world along with its road feeder service network in the UAE and to other offline stations.
