U.S. based National Airlines, a division of National Air Cargo Group, Inc., has entered an interline agreement with Middle East’s dynamic Etihad Cargo to successfully roll out the ICAIR23 program for the United States Postal Service (USPS).
This agreement initiates a unique partnership, as it combines National’s extensive experience in providing international freight transportation services with Etihad Cargo’s global commercial network.
Under phase 1 of the ICAIR23 program, National Airlines, a U.S. flag carrier with P1 preferences will dispatch USPS civilian, military, and diplomatic mail using the scheduled services of Etihad Cargo across several awarded lanes for the period 2023 -2027.
“It’s our honour to once again be part of the ICAIR program for USPS”, commented Mr Christopher Alf, Chairman, National Air Cargo Group, Inc.
“This time it brings us much pleasure to collaborate with Etihad Cargo, a dynamic and rapidly growing global airline. “We are looking forward to this association and hope to provide best-in-class mail delivery experiences to customers worldwide through this program.”
Tim Isik, Vice President, Commercial at Etihad Cargo, said, “Etihad Cargo is committed to making the transportation of mail across the carrier’s network as seamless and efficient as possible.
“Etihad Cargo’s partnership with National Air Cargo Group will enable the two airlines to join forces to enhance international USPS mail deliveries, providing greater connectivity to destinations across Etihad Cargo’s global network, and providing customers with an efficient service.”
