Madrid’s role as a key fashion hub makes it an essential destination for our freighter network,” Stanislaus Brun, Vice President, Etihad Cargo, remarked. This new route emphasises Madrid’s importance as a major fashion hub in Europe and aims to boost e-commerce link from Asia to Europe via Etihad Cargo’s Abu Dhabi hub.
