Etihad to deliver critical airfreight services to Australia

Etihad Cargo, the cargo and logistics arm of the Etihad Aviation Group, has partnered with the Australian government to provide critical international airfreight assistance to Australia.. The initiative has been established by the Australian government to accelerate delivery of agricultural and fisheries exports into key overseas markets, with over 560 Australian businesses already registering their interest in utilising the International Freight Assistance Mechanism.. Federal Trade Minister Simon Birmingham said this new network would be crucial to coordinating international freight out of Australia until commercial passenger flights were restored. ". With very few international passenger flights leaving Australia at present, our exporters are facing major hurdles," Minister Birmingham said. ".
