SAL and SPL sign agreement to boost airmail handling in Saudi Arabia

SAL Logistics Services and Saudi Post (SPL) signed a strategic agreement in Riyadh on 13 October 2025 to enhance mail handling and transportation operations across Saudi Arabia.

The agreement, signed by Mohammed Nahhas, CEO of SAL's Ground Handling Sector, and Khalid Ibrahim Al-Mohammed, Vice President of Processing and Outlets at SPL, outlines how SAL will manage the entire mail handling process from receipt to aircraft transfer. The collaboration seeks to improve the efficiency of express mail operations and strengthen integration between the postal and logistics sectors in the Kingdom.

Under the terms of the agreement, SAL will oversee the preparation of specialised mail handling units, ensure the safety of shipments, and coordinate their movement between warehouses, postal facilities, and aircraft. The partnership supports national efforts to streamline logistics and enhance the quality of service in mail delivery.

"We are proud of this partnership with Saudi Post, which aims to strengthen the integration between logistics and postal networks in the Kingdom, in line with our shared objectives to serve the national economy. Leveraging SAL's expertise in ground handling and cargo management, we will ensure faster, safer, and more reliable processing of postal shipments," said Nahhas.

Khalid Al Mohammed said the partnership reaffirmed SPL's role in developing the postal and logistics ecosystem. He added that SPL’s nationwide network would maintain high standards of quality and security in mail processing and accelerate distribution to support e-commerce growth.

The agreement marks a new phase of cooperation between two national entities aligned with Saudi Vision 2030. It aims to improve operational efficiency and reinforce Saudi Arabia’s position as a regional logistics hub.
