Etihad Cargo recently hosted an Italian Business mission in Abu Dhabi, offering the key industry players an opportunity to learn more about the United Arab Emirates and the Etihad Aviation Group, while promoting partnership and business opportunities.
The event was co-hosted by Etihad Global Cargo Management Company (Etihad GCMC) and the Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce for 20 industrial powerhouses from Parma, Italy, who collectively represent 3.7 percent of the Italian GDP, along with 75 representatives from Emirati businesses.
The event followed the recent signing by Etihad GCMC and Parma Airport of an exclusive agreement to develop cargo volumes at the airport. As part of the agreement daily road feeder services will be operated to Italy’s air cargo hub, Milan’s Malpensa Airport, 180km away. The project, being developed in conjunction with airline Alitalia, provides regional businesses with rapid delivery of their products to a global market.
