Cainiao Network, Alibaba Group's logistics arm, and Saudia Cargo have signed a new twelve-month "space and service commitment" agreement which commenced on 1 April 2023 and will run till 31 March 2024. It reserves exclusively selected SACC freighter flights from Hong Kong to Riyadh and Liege.
Vikram Vohra, Saudia Cargo's regional director Asia Pacific: "The success of last year's cooperation agreement with Cainiao allowed us to achieve significant growth in e-commerce shipments. We have increased our capacity and number of cargo flights to destinations in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Europe and North America."
As it continues to grow its partnership with Cainiao, Saudia Cargo is also exploring new lanes from Hong Kong and China to the Middle East, Africa, and possibly Latin America in the long term. (ah)
