Saudia Enhances Cargo Links Between Europe And Africa

Saudia Cargo, the dedicated freighter business of Saudi Arabian Airlines, is to boost frequencies on its link from Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta International to Amsterdam Schiphol due to rising demand from forwarders. The airline operates a McDonnell Douglas MD-11F on the route three times every week, but from April will increase this to five flights per week. According to a representative of the company the expansion is primarily due to a growing demand for the transport of flowers. These flights continue from Amsterdam to the carrier’s main hub at Jeddah’s King Abdulaziz International Airport, with two rotations continuing on to Riyadh and three to Johannesburg.
