On May 22 2021 Saudia Cargo commenced its twice weekly passenger as freighter flights to Denmark’s capital Copenhagen.

The new route will support the perishable and pharma market in the region.

Saudia Airlines B777-300 passenger planes are being utilised as “preighters” on the route scheduled for Wednesday and Saturday.

“We have seen a growing demand for air cargo in Denmark, Sweden and Norway. And we believe that Copenhagen, as a central location in the Scandinavian region, is an ideal route to capture business from all these countries,” said saudia cargo chief cargo officer Teddy Zebitz.

“For Denmark and Sweden, we’re focusing on pharmaceuticals while in Norway, we’re looking at transporting perishables like Salmon which the country is very well known for.”
