RIYADH: Saudia Group has signed an agreement with Boeing to add four 777-200 Freighters to its fleet, expanding Saudia Cargo’s capacity as the Kingdom advances its ambitions to become a global logistics hub under Vision 2030.
The agreement was signed in Jeddah in the presence of Ibrahim Al-Omar, director general of Saudia Group, with the first aircraft scheduled for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2026.
The deal was signed by Saleh Eid, vice president of fleet management at Saudia Group, Loay Mashabi, CEO of Saudia Cargo, and Asaad AlJomoai, president of Boeing Saudi Arabia.
The order follows a period of strong growth for Saudia Cargo, which transported more than 1.15 million tonnes of cargo across its global network during 2024 and 2025. The carrier also recorded sustained growth in revenue, national exports and cross-border e-commerce while maintaining an on-time performance rate of more than 90 percent over the period.
“This agreement marks an important milestone in executing Saudia Group’s long-term growth strategy and reflects our continued investment in strengthening the Group’s integrated aviation ecosystem,” said Al-Omar.
