SAL partners with TAM Group to expand air cargo links with China

SAL Logistics Services has signed a strategic partnership with Hong Kong-based TAM Group to enhance air cargo operations between Saudi Arabia and China.

The agreement was signed on October 30, 2025, during the Transport Logistic Southeast Asia Exhibition in Singapore. This marks SAL’s first international expansion. The partnership aims to strengthen trade links between the two countries by developing air cargo networks and addressing the growing demand for logistics services, especially in e-commerce.

The collaboration will allow both companies to combine expertise to improve operational efficiency and facilitate trade growth. It also aligns with Saudi Arabia’s National Transport and Logistics Strategy and Vision 2030, which seek to position the Kingdom as a global logistics hub.

Omar Hariri, CEO of SAL Logistics Services, said, “As part of SAL’s expansion strategy, we are proud to announce the company’s first international presence in China—the world’s largest export market—through our partnership with TAM Group. This collaboration will enable Chinese companies to expand into Saudi Arabia and leverage the Kingdom’s strategic geographic location as a global distribution hub powered by SAL’s integrated logistics solutions. This expansion is a pivotal step toward enhancing trade connectivity between the two nations and supporting the continuous growth of e-commerce and global trade flows.”

Alvin Tam, Senior Vice President, Commercial of TAM Group, said, “We are proud to collaborate with SAL, a leading name in logistics services in the Kingdom. This agreement will allow us to combine our international expertise with SAL’s advanced operational capabilities to develop air cargo networks and expand connectivity between Saudi Arabia and global markets.”

The partnership underscores SAL’s plan to build international alliances that strengthen its presence and advance Saudi Arabia’s position in global logistics.
