Saudia Cargo, a leading air cargo carrier in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, has announced the launch of new freighter routes from Liège Airport (LGG) in Belgium to Saudi Arabia and Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport (CGO) in China to Liège Airport. This strategic move aims to enhance its global network and support the rapid growth of the e-commerce sector and trade between Asia and Europe via the Kingdom, in line with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030.

The freighter flights will operate directly from Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport (CGO) in China to Liège Airport (LGG) with two weekly flights, facilitating the transportation of goods in collaboration with e-commerce platforms, merchants, and logistics providers.

The addition of the Liège and Zhengzhou routes will be a game-changer in our operations. It not only enhances our ability to meet the growing demand in the region but also solidifies our position as a leading global air cargo company. This expansion will enable us to provide advanced solutions that support the sustainable growth of our customers and partners, reflecting our ongoing commitment to achieving mutual success.”

Niazi added, “leveraging its position as an effective strategic hub connecting global supply chains and contributing to strengthening the Kingdom’s position as a global logistics center, Saudia Cargo seeks to implement the highest standards of operational excellence and provide integrated solutions that meet the aspirations of the company’s customers. He pointed out that the expansion of destinations and freight routes will support the growth of the business sector and the expansion of its activities.”

Saudia Cargo’s direct flight route from Liège Airport in Belgium to King Fahd International Airport in Dammam, effective April 3rd, increases the total weekly flights operated by the company from Liège to 11 weekly flights.
