I remember Cheik xxx asked to repaint totally the tail of one aircraft recently painted because the eagle wasn't smilling.

This story is totally true.

I hope that their Cargo division will be able to grow and be as successful as the passenger airline.

Is it so far a rumour or do you have "good sources" of information?
And do you know if Etihad is planning to aquire further Cargo planes ? And if yes how many and which type ?

Thanks
Chris

As far as I know, my source can be considered as reliable.

Normally daily flights except day 6 and 7 BRU-AUH with A330 & A340.
Don't know how big their fleet will be when they start ops from BRU.

Let's not jump to conclusions : though the Etihad BRU project looks good, nothing has been formally decided at this date, yet.

If it would be decided, you can be sure there'd be a press conference or press release to state that officially, immediately. The same applies generally to all rumours about new carriers who will/should/might/could start operating to a route they do not yet officially operate.

All the rest - fun as it may be to try to predict such things - is speculation and wishful thinking.

A330 and A340 as cargo? Are you sure it is not for passanger flights???

I'm talking about the cargo ops.
We'll see.

But there is no A340 or A330 in full cargo config.

I don't get it..
