Saudia Cargo has confirmed an order for four Boeing 777-200 Freighters, marking its first acquisition of the type. Deliveries will commence in Saudi Arabia during the fourth quarter of 2026, with the remaining three aircraft arriving subsequently. This widebody addition directly expands long-haul payload capacity, targeting 224,900 lbs per unit and 4,970 nmi range. The order aligns with the operator’s strategy to modernize its fleet and strengthen global network connectivity amid rising e-commerce and industrial demand. By integrating these freighters, Saudia Cargo enhances operational efficiency and reduces dependency on single trade lanes, positioning itself as a more competitive player in the international air cargo sector alongside established operators like Emirates and Qatar Airways.
