FlyUs named GSA for Riyadh Air as airline launches UK cargo operations

FlyUs Aviation Group (FlyUs) has been appointed General Sales Agent (GSA) for Riyadh Air in the United Kingdom and Ireland, effective 26th October 2025, supporting the airline’s new daily Boeing 787-9 cargo flights into London Heathrow Airport.

The appointment coincides with Riyadh Air’s first scheduled widebody operations into Heathrow, offering forwarders direct access to Saudi Arabia, a market growing in manufacturing, e-commerce, perishable goods, and high-value logistics.

Carlo de Haas, President and Chief Executive Officer of FlyUs, said the partnership reflects the company’s strong track record in cargo sales and its commitment to market-leading representation. He highlighted the significance of participating from the airline’s first Heathrow departure and noted that FlyUs’ own trucking fleet provides daily temperature-controlled services between the UK and Benelux, connecting European forwarders to Riyadh Air’s new route.

Pravin Singh, Head of Cargo at Riyadh Air, described the partnership as the start of a strong collaboration based on shared ambition and operational excellence. FlyUs’ local expertise will help Riyadh Air deliver reliable, customer-focused cargo solutions across the UK and Ireland.

Riyadh Air, Saudi Arabia’s national carrier, aims to support the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 by connecting Riyadh with 100 destinations by 2030, promoting global trade and logistics growth. Under the agreement, FlyUs will manage sales, customer support, and capacity for the UK and Ireland, routing bookings through its local teams.

This collaboration underscores FlyUs’ mission to link national carriers with forwarders worldwide and strengthen cargo connectivity between Europe and Saudi Arabia.
