Saudia Cargo: over 1,500 cargo flights in 100 days


Saudia Cargo has operated more than 1,500 flights since the Covid-19 restrictions came into effect in March. 500 of these flights were operated using passenger aircraft deployed for international air cargo.

 

From March through June, Saudia Cargo transported around 75,000 t of vital shipments to the Kingdom including medical and PPE equipment as part of the Saudi health authorities’ efforts to prevent the spread of the pandemic.

 

Deploying passenger aircraft to carry cargo only, including the utilisation of aircraft cabin loads - in coordination with the Saudi Arabian Airlines Corporation - has enhanced the capabilities of the cargo air bridge used for transporting essential supplies and vital commodities, thus ensuring a consistent fulfilment of the demands of markets and supply chains in the Kingdom.
