Saudia Cargo has launched a direct scheduled airfreight service connecting Riyadh with Melbourne, opening a new link between Saudi Arabia and Australia for shippers and businesses.
The route operates between King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh and Melbourne International Airport, providing a dedicated corridor for the movement of goods between the two cities.
A direct connection between these hubs is significant for importers, exporters, and logistics operators across the Kingdom. Shorter, more direct routing can help streamline supply chains and reduce transit steps for cargo traveling between the Middle East and Australia.
For Riyadh-based traders and the wider business community, the service adds capacity for a range of freight moving in both directions, supporting sectors that rely on timely and reliable air transport. The addition also reflects the continued expansion of the Kingdom's air cargo network as demand for international logistics grows.
Details on exact tariffs, booking procedures, and schedule validity were not confirmed. Shippers seeking current pricing and reservation information can refer to Saudia Cargo's official Arabic and English channels.
