Saudia Cargo has launched a newly delivered B777 freighter on its established cargo service from Mumbai in India to home base Jeddah.

Keku Gazder, Saudia Cargo’s regional director cargo for the Indian sub-continent, said: ''Saudia Cargo once again demonstrates its capability to offer the latest technology with this new addition to the freighter fleet.

“By serving Mumbai as its inaugural route, it demonstrates the importance of this market to our global freighter network. The new B777F is scheduled to operate twice weekly on the route from Mumbai to Jeddah and beyond.”

Saudi Airlines Cargo operates a fleet of dedicated freighters and sells the belly-capacity on passenger aircraft for Saudi Arabia’s flag carrier Saudia, spanning a rapidly expanding global network.
