Saudia Cargo has announced an expanded strategic collaboration with the Saudi Arabian Ports Authority (Mawani) and the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) to introduce new sea-to-air logistics routes designed to keep cargo moving through Saudi Arabia and to global markets.
Launched as a sea-to-air logistics corridor through the Kingdom’s west coast ports, the cargo airline said the initiative provides a proactive response to regional developments affecting shipping patterns and international flight schedules, helping to safeguard supply chain continuity.
Saudia Cargo said it will play a central role in turning inbound ocean shipments into a fast airlift, helping to shorten overall transit times while offering solutions that balance cost efficiency with delivery speed.
According Saudi cargoThe sea-air logistics corridor supports a more integrated national logistics approach in which seaports and airports operate as complementary and connected entry points, allowing cargo to seamlessly shift between modes as conditions evolve.
The first routes have already been activated, starting with the Islamic port of Jeddah, to support business continuity and the redirection of cargo flows when necessary.
ZATCA’s role as a key facilitator and regulator is critical to the corridor’s effectiveness as it links sea and air gates through an integrated transit framework that allows cargo to move under a single customs declaration.
This is supported by pre-clearance capabilities and intelligent inspection checks, which allow containers to move from the port quay to the airport tarmac in significantly reduced time frames and reinforce the Kingdom’s position as a safe and efficient logistics bridge for international supply chains.
Saudia Cargo reaffirmed its willingness to quickly adapt to changing circumstances, ensuring that essential and commercial goods continue to move reliably.
By strengthening sea-air connectivity, activating alternative routes and enabling reliable links through entry points to the Kingdom, the company said it aims to protect trade flows and maintain continuity throughout the supply chain.
