SolitAir, a Dubai-based newly launched air cargo carrier fulfilling middle-mile logistics demand, has announced the inauguration of its first daily scheduled flights between Dubai and Riyadh.
The service, between Dubai World Central (DWC) and Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport (RUH), started on 4 December 2024 to address the growing demand for rapid and reliable logistics solutions between the two regional hubs, which collectively handle 1.2 million tonnes of air freight annually.
Carrying cargo on both legs of the journey, the service will be available five days a week, Tuesday to Saturday.
It is operated by one of two SolitAir’s narrow-body Boeing 737-800 freighters, with a capacity of 23 tonnes. One more Boeing 737-800 freighter will join the fleet in January next year to enable the company’s immediate expansion plans which include routes to India and Bangladesh, key markets across Africa, the Stan countries and other Middle Eastern hubs. Eventually, SolitAir aims to connect over 50 Global South cities within a six-hour flying radius from Dubai.
