It not only enhances our ability to meet the growing demand in the region but also solidifies our position as a leading global air cargo company. This expansion will enable us to provide advanced solutions that support the sustainable growth of our customers and partners, reflecting our ongoing commitment to achieving mutual success.”
Niazi added, “leveraging its position as an effective strategic hub connecting global supply chains and contributing to strengthening the Kingdom’s position as a global logistics center, Saudia Cargo seeks to implement the highest standards of operational excellence and provide integrated solutions that meet the aspirations of the company’s customers.
