Saudia sets up sea-air bridge to keep cargo moving

[ March 12, 2026   //   Chris Lewis ]

Saudia Cargo has signed an expanded strategic collaboration with the Saudi Ports Authority (Mawani) and the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA) to introduce new sea to air logistics routes to keep cargo moving via Kingdom’s west coast ports.

Saudia Cargo will shift inbound maritime shipments onto an air bridge, helping shorten transit times while balancing cost efficiency.

The first routes have already been activated, beginning with Jeddah Islamic Port. ZATCA is allowing cargo to move under a single customs declaration, supported by pre-clearance c and smart inspection controls, enabling containers to move from port berth to airport runway in significantly reduced timeframes.
