Air Freight to and from Saudi Arabia

Zenlogix arranges air cargo to and from the Kingdom’s three main cargo airports: King Khalid International (RUH) in Riyadh, King Abdulaziz International (JED) in Jeddah and King Fahd International (DMM) in Dammam. We book space with the airlines serving these airports, clear the cargo through FASAH on arrival and deliver it to your door.

Air Freight

Air freight is the fastest way to move urgent, high-value or time-sensitive cargo into and out of Saudi Arabia. We quote and book airport-to-airport or door-to-door, including export documents at origin and import clearance in the Kingdom.

  • Imports and exports through RUH, JED and DMM
  • Space booked with the airlines serving Saudi airports, through our carrier and agent network
  • Regular status updates from our Riyadh freight desk from booking to delivery

Air Cargo Clearance in Saudi Arabia

Fast flights only help if the cargo clears quickly on arrival. Our team files the import declaration on FASAH, arranges payment of customs duty and 15% VAT to ZATCA, and links any SABER or SFDA certificates your goods need before the shipment lands.

Once released, we collect the cargo from the airport cargo terminal and deliver it to your warehouse or site anywhere in the Kingdom. For exports, we prepare the export declaration and air waybill and deliver the cargo to the airline on time.

Sea-Air via Dubai

Sea-air combines ocean freight with an air leg. A common route into Saudi Arabia is by sea from Asia to Dubai, then by air (or road) into Riyadh, Jeddah or Dammam. It is usually faster than sea freight alone and cheaper than flying the whole way.

We coordinate both legs, the transfer in Dubai and the clearance in Saudi Arabia, so you deal with one team for the full journey.

With sea-air via Dubai, you get:

  • Shorter transit times than sea freight alone
  • Lower overall cost than direct air freight
  • Documents coordinated for the complete door-to-door journey
  • One Zenlogix point of contact for both legs
  • Routing via Dubai into RUH, JED or DMM
  • Status updates under a single shipment reference
  • Reliable solution for delayed ocean shipments that need faster onward movement
  • A flexible alternative when pure airfreight markets are tight or cost intensive

Air Charter

Secure a dedicated freighter for your cargo and gain full control over schedules, load capacity, and security.

When scheduled flights cannot meet your deadline or your cargo is too large for them, we arrange full or part charters through charter operators and brokers. Our team handles the planning, landing permit coordination, airport handling and customs clearance in Saudi Arabia.

You get a single point of contact and regular status updates throughout the operation.

Charters suit urgent spare parts, project equipment and oversized cargo for sectors such as oil and gas, construction, mining and industrial projects.
