RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s SAL Logistics Services partnered with China’s SF Airlines to provide air cargo services, reinforcing the Kingdom’s efforts to deepen logistics ties with one of its largest trading partners.
The agreement, signed through SAL’s Ground Handling Division, will see the Saudi company provide integrated ground handling and operational services for SF Airlines, one of China’s largest air cargo carriers and a subsidiary of SF Express. The airline operates a global network spanning more than 130 destinations.
The partnership comes as Saudi Arabia and China continue to expand trade and investment ties, with the Kingdom investing heavily in logistics infrastructure under Vision 2030 to strengthen supply chains and position itself as a regional distribution hub.
The companies said the pact combines SAL’s ground handling and air cargo capabilities with SF Airlines’ operations in Saudi Arabia, with the aim of improving operational efficiency, service quality, and cargo handling reliability.
In a post on X, SAL stated: “Under the agreement, SAL will provide integrated operational services, including air cargo handling, aircraft loading and offloading, in addition to a range of related operational services for operated flights.”
