Swissport International expands in Saudi Arabia

The ground service provider and air cargo handler has added AlUla to its growing network of airports

Swissport has added Prince Abdul Majeed bin Abdulaziz International Airport in AlUla (ULH) to its growing network in Saudi Arabia. 

Initially, Swissport will handle two weekly flights to and from Amman, Jordan. The company expects flight volumes in Saudi Arabia to grow significantly as more airlines add destinations or increase frequencies.

Swissport Saudi Arabia CEO Chris Browne said: "We are delighted to be able to offer our high-quality aviation services at AlUla and are honoured by the trust our launching customer Royal Jordanian places in us."

AlUla is Swissport’s sixth airport in Saudi Arabia and further strengthens its position as a service provider for airlines seeking a long-term partner across the region. 

Swissport has been present in Saudi Arabia since 2016 when it started operations in Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam. The company has since continuously expanded its business and turned its presence from a greenfield start-up into an established business with a broad customer base of regional and international carriers.

Currently, Swissport provides passenger services and ramp handling at six airports in Saudi Arabia: King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh (RUH), King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah (JED), King Fahd International Airport in Dammam (DMM), Prince Mohammad Bin Abdulaziz International Airport in Medina (MED), Prince Naif bin Abdulaziz International Airport in Al-Qassim (ELQ) and Prince Abdul Majeed bin Abdulaziz International Airport in AlUla (ULH).
