Saudia Cargo and Riyadh Cargo have signed an interline agreement with the goal of offering freight forwarders and logistics partners broader network access, enhanced routing options, and improved cargo connectivity and flexibility across key international trade corridors.
The agreement, which follows Saudia Cargo’s launch of a scheduled route between Riyadh in Saudi Arabia and Melbourne in Australia, combines Saudia Cargo’s established cargo presence and expertise with Riyadh Cargo’s expanding global network and digitally native operating model.
This agreement will also support the continued expansion of Riyadh Cargo’s network beyond current direct services to London, Dubai, Cairo, Jeddah, Madrid, and Malaga, while strengthening connectivity to upcoming destinations including Mumbai, Kuala Lumpur, and Dhaka.
It further supports Riyadh Cargo’s long-term ambition to serve more than 100 global destinations by 2030.
Mansour Alasmi, vice president – network & revenue at Saudia Cargo, said: “This initiative reflects our firm belief in the importance of integration and cooperation to strengthen the Kingdom’s shipping and logistics ecosystem.
“By combining Saudia Cargo’s established expertise and global capabilities with Riyadh Cargo’s future ambitions, we will provide our customers with more integrated solutions to facilitate trade.
“This aligns with our joint efforts to transform the Kingdom into a premier global logistics hub, while driving sustainable growth for both organizations.”
Pravin Singh, vice president of cargo at Riyadh Air, commented: “As Riyadh Air builds a global airline from the heart of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh Cargo has a clear ambition to become a modern, digitally enabled, and reliable cargo business serving customers across key international markets.
“This agreement supports that ambition by extending our reach, opening new trade opportunities, and helping position Riyadh as an important gateway in the future of global logistics.”
