KSA, USA expand aviation ties to include cargo operations

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and the USA have amended their bilateral agreement to include traffic rights for all-cargo operations, allowing cargo transportation and facilitating USA airlines to carry the goods between KSA and third world countries without requiring stopping in the USA. “These additional rights in the Amendment will facilitate movement of goods throughout the world by providing air carriers flexibility to meet their cargo and express delivery customers’ needs more efficiently. The carriers of Saudi Arabia will have the same rights to serve the USA. The Amendment will further expand our strong economic and commercial partnership,” the US Department of State stated.
