Saudia Cargo and Cainiao’s partnership solidifies

The success of last year’s cooperation agreement with Cainiao Network, the logistics arm of Alibaba Group has enabled Saudia Cargo to achieve significant growth in e-commerce shipments this year. The agreement created a thriving ‘sky bridge’ between Asia and Europe, allowing Saudia Cargo to benefit from the opportunities arising from the growing global e-commerce market.

Cainiao se pridružio programu letova kompanije Saudia Cargo u martu 2021., povezujući SAR Hong Kong sa Liježom u Belgiji, preko čvorišta Saudia Cargo u Rijadu, sa 12 letova sedmično. Teretni let omogućava Rijadu da postane model efikasnog distributivnog čvorišta na Bliskom istoku zahvaljujući snažnom partnerstvu koje je kompanija sklopila sa lokalnim igračima.

Vikram Vohra, Saudia Cargo’s Regional Director – Asia Pacific: “The agreement has allowed us to benefit from access to Alibaba’s e-commerce platform as online shopping continues to soar, boosted in part by the Covid-19 pandemic. The partnership with Cainiao, which offers logistic services to more than 200 countries, is central to our growth strategy for this decade and sets the template for future cooperation agreements. Cainiao has become a trusted and valued partner.”

Dandy Zhang, Commercial Director of Global Line Haul, Cainiao’s Cross-border business: “As a global smart logistics company, Cainiao has been consistently enhancing its logistics services and efficiency to satisfy the booming demand for e-commerce in Europe and Middle East. Our partnership with Saudia Cargo has been fruitful, and we look forward to strengthening our cooperation in the long term.”

Saudia Cargo has increased the number of cargo flights it operates to destinations in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Europe and North America over the past few years to ensure that it continues to meet rising demand for e-commerce and deliver on Saudi Arabia’s ‘Vision 2030’ strategy for growth.

Kompanija je povećala svoje transportne kapacitete od prošle godine, dodajući i samo poboljšavajući svoj prostor i tonažni kapacitet za prevoz robe e-trgovine na različitim rutama, o kojima brine visoko obučeno osoblje koje osigurava najsigurniju isporuku. Samo broj letova sa tržišta Hong Konga porastao je za preko 30%.

Pandemija je otkrila hitnu potrebu za cargo uslugama jer je sektor e-trgovine doživio dramatičan porast tokom pandemije, s prognoziranim povećanjem prihoda od e-trgovine od 19% širom svijeta između vremenskih okvira prije i nakon COVID-19 u 2020. Saudijska Cargo je najavio nekoliko mjera kako bi osigurao kontinuitet svojih operacija, a njihovo povećanje broja letova bilo je dio njihovih usluga s Cainiaom.

Ovo je dovelo do ne samo jačeg i zadovoljnijeg partnerstva, već je i pomoglo da se pokaže koliko efikasan Saudia Cargo sarađuje sa svojim partnerima širom svijeta, garantujući tačnu isporuku. Zadovoljstvo Cainiao-a radom Saudia Cargo-a, tokom protekle godine i uprkos borbi protiv pandemije, dokazalo je da je Saudia Cargo pouzdan i uspješan partner.
