About Saudia Cargo

Saudia Cargo is the national air cargo carrier of Saudi Arabia. It moves freight for businesses and communities around the world. The company says its work is about serving people, not just moving boxes.

The carrier offers several cargo products. These include general cargo, specialized cargo, express shipments, mail and courier services. It also carries horses. Customers can ask for charter flights when they need a whole aircraft for a job.

Saudia Cargo uses two kinds of capacity. It ships freight in the belly holds of passenger aircraft. It also runs dedicated freighter aircraft. The company is part of SkyTeam Cargo, an alliance of airline cargo divisions.

The history on the website shows steady growth. In 2020 the company added a 747 freighter and started hubs in Dubai and Liege. It also began serving Shanghai on its scheduled cargo flights. In 2021 it signed an e-commerce logistics agreement with Cainiao. That year it also flew 40 million vaccine doses into Saudi Arabia.

Growth continued in the years after. In 2022 the company won an aviation award for on-time delivery of about 90 percent of shipments. In 2023 it opened stations in Johannesburg, Toronto and Shenzhen. Recent news covers a scheduled freighter route from Dhaka to Frankfurt and a new route from Riyadh to Melbourne.

The company also signed an interline agreement with Riyadh Cargo, the freight arm of Riyadh Air. An interline agreement lets two carriers share routes for a shipment. In September 2026 Saudia Cargo was named Air Cargo Operator of the Year 2026 at the Logistics and Transport Awards.

The website has online tools for customers. People can track a shipment, make an e-booking, generate a barcode and check an invoice. A customer care team answers questions from Sunday to Thursday, Saudi time. The site also explains how the company supports Saudi Vision 2030.
