Saudia Cargo has launched a scheduled freighter route connecting Dhaka, Bangladesh, to Frankfurt, Germany in a bid to cater for pharmaceuticals, textiles, industrial equipment, and e-commerce air cargo demand.
The service began on 14 August and comprises two weekly flights that Saudia Cargo said would enhance trade flow and logistics efficiency between Asian and European markets and help it provide faster air cargo transit times for shippers and freight forwarders.
Bangladesh serves as a vital manufacturing and export hub in Asia—particularly for ready-made garments, textiles, and perishable goods—while Frankfurt represents one of Europe’s primary logistics hubs and financial centers
In addition to the new route between Dhaka and Frankfurt, Saudia Cargo has recently begun operating a scheduled route between Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and Melbourne, Australia.
Saudia Cargo and Riyadh Cargo have also signed an interline agreement with the goal of offering freight forwarders and logistics partners broader network access, enhanced routing options, and improved cargo connectivity and flexibility across key international trade corridors.
These recent network expansions further support Riyadh Cargo’s long-term ambition to serve more than 100 global destinations by 2030.
The airline’s new services are supported by ongoing fleet investments, including a recent order for four newbuild Boeing 777-200 freighters.
