Etihad Cargo partners with Virginia on cargo development

Etihad Cargo is teaming up with the Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP) to examine how the two can create cargo opportunities at Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD). The two signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at the TIACA Air Cargo Forum that will establish a framework for collaboration to “strengthen international air cargo connectivity and support the growth of aviation-related trade”.

This will entail exchanging market insights, exploring joint initiatives, and identifying opportunities to expand air cargo activity.

“The collaboration supports Virginia’s broader strategy to strengthen IAD as a competitive global air cargo gateway, particularly for high-value and time-sensitive supply chains serving the pharmaceutical, perishables, energy, data centre, and cloud computing industries,” the two said in a press release.

They added that these sectors depend on reliable global connectivity to support investment, innovation, and international trade.
