Etihad confirms A330 freighter fleet disposal
Etihad Airways (EY, Abu Dhabi Int'l) has confirmed it is in the process of selling off its fleet of five A330-200(F)s. The widebody freighters were withdrawn from service effective January 1 and have been placed into storage in Abu Dhabi Int'l and Teruel ever since.
A company spokesman has since confirmed to ch-aviation that the five aircraft "are in advanced stages of being sold to a new owner.” No further details concerning potential buyers were mentioned.
Etihad's freighter fleet currently consists of five B777-Fs all of which are used on flights connecting Abu Dhabi with India and the Subcontinent, the Far East, China, Sub-Saharan Africa, North and South America, and Europe.
Etihad is currently in the process of restructuring its operations and that has included the trimming of both its route network as well as fleet. Aside from the sale of the A330 freighters, Etihad has also retired its five B777-200(LR)s from service.
