AirBridgeCargo Airlines (ABC) expanded its network further with weekly services between Houston and Abu Dhabi.

The weekly flight departs Houston on Monday evenings via Chicago and Luxembourg to Abu Dhabi, returning to Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport. ABC will offer trucking services from Luxembourg, covering continental Europe, and from Abu Dhabi, connecting both Dubai International Airport and Dubai World Central.

ABC vice president North and South America, Hendrik Falk says: “We are delighted to add Houston and Abu Dhabi to our growing list of destinations. We can now provide a direct connection from the Houston area to key markets in Russia and the Middle East.”

“We expect that the oil and gas industry, in particular, will benefit from this new service and naturally our sales force will be developing this destination for other commodities too.”

Houston Airport System director of aviation, Mario Diaz says: “We are delighted to have AirBridgeCargo among our carriers, especially understanding the scale of its achievements and performance.”
