Saudia Group signed an agreement on 6 July 2026 in Jeddah to acquire four Boeing 777-200 Freighters, doubling its dedicated twin-engine freighter fleet from four to eight aircraft. The order, executed by Director General Ibrahim Al-Omar alongside Boeing representatives, supports Saudi Vision 2030 and the National Transport and Logistics Strategy by positioning the Kingdom as a global logistics hub bridging East and West. First delivery is scheduled for Q4 2026, with remaining units delivered sequentially through 2027. This expansion strengthens Saudia Cargo’s network across four continents, increases dedicated capacity on key trade routes, and addresses rising air cargo demand driven by international trade growth. The move aligns with Saudia Group’s broader plan to purchase 191 aircraft total for the airline and subsidiaries by 2026.
