KSA fortifies logistics network through FedEx-SAL tie-up

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is set to strengthen its position as a regional logistics hub after SAL secured a contract with FedEx to provide ground handling services across the Kingdom. The agreement covers express shipments across FedEx’s India, Middle East, and Africa operations, giving customers access to faster, more reliable logistics solutions while supporting the growth of key sectors such as retail, e-commerce, and industry.

Under the new partnership, SAL will handle a comprehensive range of ground operations, including sorting, cargo movement, and delivery coordination, ensuring that shipments move seamlessly from arrival to final delivery. The collaboration is expected to enhance operational efficiency and service quality, reflecting both companies’ commitment to world-class logistics standards.

The deal also aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 ambitions, which emphasise advanced infrastructure, localisation, and the expansion of the Kingdom’s role in global trade. As demand for express logistics continues to grow in the region, partnerships like this one are increasingly critical for enabling faster, more dependable service while supporting the broader economic diversification agenda. By combining FedEx’s global network with SAL’s local expertise, the agreement promises to strengthen supply chains, improve delivery timelines, and provide businesses and consumers in Saudi Arabia with access to innovative, reliable logistics solutions.
