Saudi Airlines Cargo Boosts Transatlantic Links

Saudi Airlines Cargo, the freight operation of Saudi Arabian Airlines, is expanding its long-haul links between Europe and the US, offering three Boeing 747 flights per week to New York and Houston from its European hub at Brussels Airport in Belgium. These flights also provide cargo options to destinations beyond these cities with onward domestic transfers available to such destinations at Atlanta, Detroit, Los Angeles and Seattle.

"By adding the USA to our network, we do not only respond to the developments in the cargo market but also to the increasing demand of freighter capacity out of Europe to the USA, especially to Houston," said Sander van Woesik, Regional Sales Director Europe of Saudi Airlines Cargo. "We consider our transatlantic connection a valuable addition to our network and with our global coverage, we are convinced that we can serve the freight forwarders and their customers even better."

Saudi Airlines Cargo currently operates 12 dedicated freighter aircraft, but also and sells the belly-capacity on 125 passenger aircraft flown by Saudi Arabian Airlines across a network of 225 destinations.
