Saudia Cargo and Riyadh Cargo have signed an interline agreement designed to expand cargo connectivity and give customers access to a broader international network through Saudi Arabia.
The partnership combines Saudia Cargo's established global cargo operations with Riyadh Cargo's growing network, allowing freight forwarders and logistics providers to benefit from seamless interline connections, additional routing options and greater flexibility across key trade lanes.
The agreement will immediately extend Riyadh Cargo's reach beyond its existing destinations of London, Dubai, Cairo, Jeddah, Madrid and Malaga, while also supporting planned services to Mumbai, Kuala Lumpur and Dhaka.
The carrier said the partnership aligns with its long-term ambition to serve more than 100 destinations by 2030.
Eng. Mansour Alasmi, vice president of network and 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, added: "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."
The airlines said the agreement will expand available cargo capacity, improve the movement of goods across international markets and extend the reach of both carriers beyond their own operated networks.
The collaboration also supports Saudi Arabia's National Transport and Logistics Strategy and Vision 2030 by strengthening the Kingdom's position as a global logistics hub and enhancing the roles of both Riyadh and Jeddah as key gateways for international trade.
