Landing a cargo handling contract in Saudi Arabia
Hainan Airlines has awarded a contract to Sats for cargo handling services in Saudi Arabia. Hainan Airlines operates three Airbus passenger flights a week to Riyadh and Jeddah. Sats will provide warehouse handling services for over 2,400 t of import, export, and transit airfreight annually, including special cargo shipments.
Sats has been present in the Saudi Arabian air cargo market for over six years and handles over 60,000 t of cargo and mail per annum for 19 airline customers.
This new contract also leverages the capabilities and reputation earned by Worldwide Flight Services (WFS), a member of the Sats Group, for the cargo handling services it already provides for Hainan Airlines in Europe and North America,” said Bob Chi, CEO Gateway Services at Sats. (cj)
