Saudia Cargo partners with TAM Group to launch ‘Saudia Cargo Global’ from new Hong Kong base, targeting Asia-Pacific growth.
In a game-changing move that signals a new era for the air freight industry, Saudia Cargo has launched ‘Saudia Cargo Global’, a new entity headquartered in Hong Kong, created through a landmark joint venture with long-time partner TAM Group.
This bold step places Hong Kong at the heart of Saudia Cargo’s Asia-Pacific ambitions. With eyes set firmly on Greater China and APAC, the launch reflects the company’s commitment to not just expanding geographic reach but delivering customised, world-class cargo solutions for one of the most dynamic trade corridors in the world.
Operating under the forward-looking banner “Expanding Horizons in Global Air Cargo. Rooted in Heritage, Driven by Vision”, the new venture promises to deliver flexible, tech-forward logistics solutions that meet the diverse needs of modern trade — from e-commerce logistics to pharmaceuticals, all while leveraging Hong Kong’s strategic logistics position.
Eng. Loay Mashabi, CEO and Managing Director of Saudia Cargo, called the move a “transformative step” that reinforces their commitment to the region and to Saudi Arabia’s long-term strategic goals. “This is more than just expansion; it’s a deliberate, future-focused move aligned with Vision 2030, aimed at boosting non-oil exports and positioning Saudi Arabia as a global logistics hub,” he said.
Through five dedicated freighter hubs, the joint venture is set to enhance agility, unlock new business opportunities, and significantly strengthen trade across Asia and beyond. It’s also poised to bridge the East and West, connecting regional businesses directly to Saudi Arabia’s rapidly expanding global trade network.
Dr Tam Wing Kun, Founder and Chairman of TAM Group, described the partnership as a natural evolution of nearly four decades of collaboration. “Since 1986, we’ve walked this path with Saudia Cargo. Launching Saudia Cargo Global reflects our mutual trust and shared belief in the power of the Greater China region,” he noted. “Hong Kong is a powerhouse. And from here, we’re well-positioned to serve not only China but also Southeast Asia and beyond, while aligning with Hong Kong SAR’s push for stronger Middle East ties.”
What’s on the radar?
- Optimised freighter operations from Hong Kong
- Advanced e-commerce logistics to ride the booming digital trade wave
- Specialised pharmaceutical handling aligned with global standards
- Integrated, reliable cargo services for expanding customer needs
The venture also brings together Saudia Cargo’s extensive global network with TAM Group’s deep-rooted market expertise. That synergy will ensure seamless execution and, importantly, local understanding across every touchpoint.
With this launch, Saudia Cargo not only expands its physical footprint but also reaffirms its mission to keep “Life Uninterrupted,” delivering on its promise to connect global trade with innovation, reliability, and purpose.
As Asia-Pacific trade continues to flourish, Saudia Cargo Global is poised to play a defining role in shaping the region’s logistics landscape, not just as a carrier but as a trusted trade enabler and visionary partner.
