The multi-awarded cargo carrier’s latest award acknowledges its unique focus on Asia and its growing importance in facilitating global trade and support the society at large, especially in difficult times.
It also plays an active role in distributing Covid-19 vaccines under COVAX, the equitable worldwide vaccine alliance working to contain the pandemic.

With uninterrupted airfreight services between KSA, Asia-Pacific, and beyond, using innovative pax-freighter solutions, the carrier helped supply Saudi Arabia and the world with vital medical cargo like PPE, masks, ventilators, medicines, vaccines, among other necessities.
