From 26OCT25 on, FlyUs Aviation Group (FlyUs) is Riyadh Air’s GSA for the UK and Ireland as well as covering offline services to forwarders in the Benelux. The start of the agreement, which includes sales, customer support, and capacity management, also signifies the start of the new airline’s daily Boeing 787-9 services to London’s Heathrow Airport (LHR). The Saudi airline is on a fast-track to growth and set to connect Riyadh (RUH) with 100 global destinations within the next five years. This is in line with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 which looks to facilitate international trade and logistics.
Carlo de Haas, President and Chief Executive Officer, FlyUs, said: “It is rare to see a new airline commence daily widebody operations into Heathrow, so being involved from the first departure is a real privilege. This appointment is a testament to FlyUs’s proven track record in cargo sales and our commitment to delivering market-leading representation. This partnership offers the market direct and reliable access into Saudi Arabia, a market of growing importance for manufacturing, e-commerce, perishable, and high-value logistics.
FlyUs owns and operates its own trucking fleet, providing daily temperature-controlled services to and from the Benelux and the UK. For our forwarder clients in Europe, this means they will be able to benefit from Riyadh Air’s new route to Heathrow via our road feeder services.”
Pravin Singh, Head of Cargo at Riyadh Air, added: “The appointment of FlyUs marks the beginning of a strong partnership built on shared ambition and operational excellence. Their local expertise and proven track record will help us deliver Riyadh Air’s promise of dependable, customer-focused cargo solutions across the UK and Ireland.”
In other news: FlyUs won Air Cargo News’ GSSA of the Year Award for the sixth time running, last week. James Gidlow, Group Commercial Director, FlyUs, accredited this to the strength of its global business partnerships, saying: “Our teams consistently go above and beyond for our customers, and it’s their commitment that keeps FlyUs at the forefront of this industry. As the market evolves, so does FlyUs; we’re continually investing in smarter processes and customer-focused solutions to ensure our customers receive true long-term value, and this award is a testament to that.”
