Etihad Cargo customises transport for high-value cars

Etihad Cargo is strengthening automotive logistics offering as global demand for luxury vehicles continues to rise. The carrier is responding with specialised, white-glove transport solutions designed to move high-value cars safely from production sites to international markets, supporting manufacturers, dealers, and logistics partners across global supply chains.

Premium vehicles are built in locations including the UK, Germany, Italy, and the Asia-Pacific region, before being delivered to showrooms and customers worldwide. In automotive logistics, maintaining vehicle condition is critical, as even minor damage during transit can affect value and delivery schedules. This has increased demand for more controlled and reliable transport methods.

Etihad Cargo’s solutions begin well before take-off. Using a bespoke Light & Heavy Vehicle Restraint Kit, vehicles are secured over the wheels rather than the rims. This eliminates the risk of rim damage, ensures even weight distribution, and keeps vehicles stable throughout loading, flight, and unloading.

By rethinking how automotive cargo is handled and using aircraft pallets purpose-built for vehicles, Etihad Cargo is setting a new benchmark in automotive logistics. The approach delivers higher safety standards, improved precision, and greater peace of mind for customers moving premium vehicles worldwide.
