Saudia Cargo flight launches access to Australia.

The inaugural Saudia Cargo flight will land at Avalon Airport, Melbourne, on July 25, establishing the first direct air cargo link between Australia and Saudi Arabia. Operated by a Boeing 747-400 freighter, this service alleviates capacity issues for Australian exporters who previously depended on limited space in passenger flights. It aims to enhance bilateral trade, supporting exports of high-value goods like food, pharmaceuticals, and technology. Sam Jamsheedi from the Australia Saudi Business Council emphasized that this route signifies a new era of trade and partnership, bolstering economic ties between both nations.
