Etihad Cargo has signed a 3-year cargo handling agreement with Worldwide Flight Services (WFS), a member of the SATS Group, which will cover 12 major international airports in Europe, Scandinavia, North America, India, and Asia Pacific. 

The two organisations signed their first cargo handling agreement in Frankfurt in 2005, and the new contract will see WFS handling over 150,000 tonnes of cargo each year for the Abu Dhabi-headquartered airline. The deal covers existing North American operations at New York JFK and Washington Dulles, and new locations in Boston and Chicago.      

Other airports covered by the agreement are Amsterdam, Bangkok, Barcelona, Bengaluru, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, London Heathrow, Madrid, and Paris CDG. 

Aside from general cargo, Etihad offers a wide range of specialty air transport services, including live animals, dangerous goods, valuables and vulnerable cargo, personal effects, as well as cold chain products for pharmaceuticals and perishables cargo.
