Saudi Airlines Cargo Company has expanded its service portfolio with the launch of “Fly Express”, which offers high priority express delivery for urgent international shipments.

Shipments can be accepted three hours prior to the scheduled departure time and the service provides airport-to-airport delivery of up to 300 kilograms per shipment. “There is a money-back guarantee for the added cost of the service if it does not deliver on time,” said Saudia Cargo CEO Omar Hariri.

The service is available from Brussels, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Milan, Paris, London to Saudi Arabia, with Hong Kong to be added in December and additional cities to be announced in the future.

Saudia Cargo has big plans to upgrade cargo facilities at King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, and King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, to enhance operational capacity and provide special warehousing for pharmaceutical goods, dangerous goods and other special shipments.
