Saudi start-up airline Riyadh Air has appointed FlyUs Aviation Group (FlyUs) as its General Sales Agent (GSA) in the UK and Ireland, effective October 26, 2025.

FlyUs will oversee sales, customer support and capacity management, and the agreement coincides with Riyadh Air’s first scheduled flights into London Heathrow Airport (LHR), operated daily by the airline’s Boeing 787-9.

Carlo de Haas, president and chief executive of FlyUs, said: “It is rare to see a new airline commence daily widebody operations into Heathrow, so being involved from the first departure is a real privilege.

“This appointment is a testament to FlyUs’s proven track record in cargo sales and our commitment to delivering market-leading representation.

“This partnership offers the market direct and reliable access into Saudi Arabia, a market of growing importance for manufacturing, e-commerce, perishable, and high-value logistics.”

Pravin Singh, head of cargo at Riyadh Air, said: “The appointment of FlyUs marks the beginning of a strong partnership built on shared ambition and operational excellence.

“Their local expertise and proven track record will help us deliver Riyadh Air’s promise of dependable, customer-focused cargo solutions across the UK and Ireland.”

Riyadh Air is set to play a pivotal role in supporting Saudi Arabia’s Kingdom’s Vision 2030 ambitions by connecting Riyadh with 100 destinations by 2030, facilitating trade and logistics growth across the world.

De Haas added: “FlyUs owns and operates its own trucking fleet, providing daily temperature-controlled services to and from the Benelux and the UK.

“For our forwarder clients in Europe, this means they will be able to benefit from Riyadh Air’s new route to Heathrow via our road feeder services.”
