Saudia Cargo opens Nairobi hub

   Saudia Cargo has re-opened its Nairobi hub, launching five weekly freighter flights into the airport and providing wider access to Africa and the Indian Ocean islands.
   Export capacity from Nairobi is estimated at more than 400 tons per week.
   “The broad destination mix now offered by Saudia Cargo via the Nairobi gateway presents our customers with seamless connectivity for their logistical import demands into Africa,” the carrier’s Peter Scholten said in a statement. “This marks yet another important milestone in our growth strategy and further entrenches our presence in the Africa region, following our earlier launch of the West African hub in Lagos.” – Jon Ross
