Restructuring process undertaken by Etihad has so far entailed the trimming of both its route network and its fleet
Abu Dhabi: Etihad Airways said it was in the process of selling a fleet of five A330-200(F) jets.
“The widebody freighters were withdrawn from service effective 1 January and have been placed into storage in Abu Dhabi Int'l and Teruel ever since,” Ch-Aviation.com reported.
An Etihad spokesperson told Ch-Aviation.com that the five aircraft were “in advanced stages of being sold to a new owner” but did not give further details about the buyers or the cost of the transaction.
Etihad's freighter fleet currently comprises five B777-Fs, all of which are used on flights connecting the UAE capital Abu Dhabi with India, the Far East, China, Sub-Saharan Africa, North and South America, and Europe.
The restructuring process undertaken by Abu Dhabi-based Etihad has so far entailed the trimming of both its route network and its fleet.
“Aside from the sale of the A330 freighters, Etihad has also retired its five B777-200(LR)s from service,” Ch-Aviation.com concluded.
