Saudi Logistics Services Expands Asian Footprint with SF Airlines Ground Handling Deal

Saudi Logistics Services has secured a yearly renewable agreement to provide air cargo ground handling for SF Airlines, the aviation arm of SF Group, China's largest integrated logistics service provider. Under the pact, SAL will deliver comprehensive operational services. These include cargo handling, aircraft loading and offloading, and ramp operations for SF Airlines flights. The arrangement supports SAL's strategy to deepen ties with Asia's rapidly expanding air cargo market and broaden its international airline customer roster. SAL, the ground handling division of Saudi Arabia's national carrier Saudia, operates across the kingdom's major airports in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, and Madinah, plus 15 domestic stations. The handler controls approximately 99% of Saudi Arabia's inbound and outbound air cargo. SF Airlines operates more than 90 freighters and currently runs daily freighter services between Singapore and Shenzhen.
