Pakistan International Airlines has entered into a cargo agreement with Riyadh Air, the new Saudi airline.
According to a spokesperson for the national carrier, under the terms of the agreement, cargo will be transported from Pakistan and London to Riyadh, from where it will be distributed to other destinations via the combined networks of the two airlines. The agreement will come into force on October 29.
The spokesperson said the deal was aimed at expanding PIA’s cargo operations and increasing the airline’s revenue. This collaboration also aims to meet the growing global demand for air cargo services.
The spokesperson added that PIA already has a cargo partnership with British Airways, through which around 1,000 tonnes of cargo is transported to the UK every year. The deal with Riyadh Air, he said, is part of PIA’s broader business strategy to strengthen its cargo network.
