Etihad Cargo and China’s SF Airlines are joining forces on freighter lift between Shenzhen/Ezhou and Abu Dhabi, layering new winter frequencies on top of existing services. The tie-up gives Etihad deeper access to China’s fast-moving e-commerce flows while handing SF a long-haul outlet into the Middle East and beyond. For shippers, the pitch is simple: more block space and better schedules during peak season, with first-mile/last-mile handoffs aligned on both ends.
