FlyUs expands Riyadh Air cargo reach in UK and Ireland

FlyUs Aviation Group will act as General Sales Agent for Riyadh Air in the UK and Ireland starting 26 October 2025. The partnership aligns with Riyadh Air’s inaugural daily Boeing 787-9 flights into London Heathrow, marking a significant step in the airline’s cargo operations.

The agreement positions FlyUs to manage sales, customer support, and capacity oversight across the UK and Ireland. With an established trucking network offering daily temperature-controlled services from the Benelux region, FlyUs will ensure forwarders can efficiently access Riyadh Air’s cargo services, integrating road feeder solutions into the broader logistics chain.

Riyadh Air aims to connect Riyadh to 100 global destinations by 2030, supporting Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 strategy and enhancing trade, e-commerce, and high-value logistics flows. The airline highlights FlyUs’ local expertise and operational experience as critical for delivering reliable, customer-focused cargo solutions in Europe.

Carlo de Haas, FlyUs CEO, said being involved from the first widebody departure into Heathrow reflects the company’s track record in cargo representation and its commitment to linking carriers with forwarders worldwide. Riyadh Air’s Head of Cargo, Pravin Singh, emphasised that the collaboration will strengthen operational efficiency and service dependability across the UK and Ireland.

The appointment underscores Riyadh Air’s strategy to integrate European logistics partners into its expanding international network, reinforcing market connectivity and operational reliability from its first European flights.
