Etihad Crystal Cargo will roll out its new Xpress2D express-to-door delivery service to customers in Asia and the Middle East by the end of the year. The service was earlier launched in North America and Europe in July.

The service – which covers shipments from origin airport to factory gate, including all transport and customs clearance – also includes loading priority for shipments via Abu Dhabi which can be tendered anywhere in the network up to 120 minutes prior to the scheduled flight departure.
