Etihad Crystal Cargo continues to play its part in the development of Abu Dhabi as a global cultural centre and recently completed the shipment of priceless artwork for the UAE capital city’s latest exhibition, Talking Art Louvre Abu Dhabi. The collection was flown over by Etihad Crystal Cargo to Abu Dhabi in several shipments from Frankfurt and Paris. Etihad used a combination of passenger and cargo aircraft for the important project, including an Airbus A340 and MD11F.
The exhibition, held at the Emirates Palace, was opened in June by HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces and French President, Nicolas Sarkozy.
Etihad Crystal Cargo last year successfully carried eight shipments, consisting of 168 pieces of art, for the Picasso exhibition.
Despite the tough economic conditions Etihad Crystal Cargo has experienced a very busy first six months in 2009 carrying more than 130,000 shipments with a total volume of more than 100,000 tones.
In July Etihad Crystal Cargo launched a new service for its wholesale cargo customers. Express to Door (Xpress2D) is a new ‘airport-to-door’ cargo product available to customers in the Far East, South Asia, Middle East (except UAE) and Africa wishing to transport express cargo to all countries in Europe and North America.
The service offers a swift and convenient ‘airport-to-door’ service, transporting goods from the shipment’s airport of origin direct to the customer’s chosen delivery address.
