Sunrise For Riyadh Cargo

  Move over as the cargo division of the great new airine of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh Air, makes significant strides in its international expansion by appointing General Sales and Service Agents (GSSAs) in three key markets: Egypt, India, and the United Arab Emirates.
  These regional markets are strategically located near some of the busiest trade corridors connecting Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Europe.
  Pravin Singh, Vice President of Cargo at Riyadh Cargo, explained the rationale behind these market selections:
  “India brings large scale and steady demand. The UAE and Egypt offer strong connectivity and opportunities for growth, including direct flights that enhance point-to-point options on vital trade lanes.”
  Singh, an experienced air cargo professional, expressed enthusiasm about his role, stating:
  “The prospect of creating a new cargo business with a blank canvas using technology and innovation as primary tools is hugely exciting.”
Singh emphasized the importance of "collaborating with local partners to balance global connectivity with local execution, ensuring reliability, transparency, and an improved customer experience".
  The newly appointed partners include Air Logistics Group India for India, Cargo Partners International Inc. operating under dnata Cargo for the UAE, and M&C Aviation Group for Egypt. Activation will occur in phases, depending on each market's readiness and the rollout of the network.
  In Saudi Arabia, Riyadh Cargo collaborates with SATS Ltd. Saudi Arabia Company for ground handling, with Riyadh as the main hub. The company also partners with Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) at London Heathrow, Crest Cargo Servies Private Limited in Pakistan, Millenium Transportation in Sri Lanka and the Maldives, Envotech Aviation in Bangladesh, and FlyUs Aviation Group in the United Kingdom, which supports both online and offline sales, including the recent addition of Manchester.
  Riyadh Cargo enhances its future cargo operations as a bellyhold operator with over 180 next-generation aircraft on order, targeting more than 100 destinations by 2030.
