Pakistan
International Airlines (PIA) has signed a cargo operations agreement with Riyadh Air to expand its freight
network and enhance service capacity in response to growing global demand for
air cargo.
Under the new partnership, cargo originating
from Pakistan and London will be transported to Riyadh, from where it will be
distributed to final destinations through the combined networks of both
airlines. The agreement takes effect from October 29.

The collaboration is expected to increase PIA’s cargo destinations, boost freight revenues, and strengthen its logistics capabilities.
PIA already maintains a similar
agreement with British Airways, under which around 1,000 tons of cargo is
transported annually to the United Kingdom. The airline continues to explore
additional partnerships and routes to further grow its cargo business from
Pakistan and beyond.
