Saudia Cargo adds Dhaka-Frankfurt freighter service to boost Europe trade

Dhaka: Saudia Cargo has launched a new scheduled freighter service connecting Dhaka with Frankfurt, strengthening air cargo links between Bangladesh and Europe. The twice-weekly service, which began August 14, is aimed at improving shipment connectivity and providing faster access to European markets through Frankfurt, a major logistics hub. The new route is expected to support Bangladesh's export-driven industries, particularly ready-made garments, textiles and perishables. It will also carry pharmaceuticals, industrial equipment and e-commerce shipments, according to the carrier. Saudia Cargo said the service will give freight forwarders and businesses a more streamlined option for transporting goods between Asia and Europe while adding capacity to the growing trade corridor. It transported over 570,000 tons of cargo across 90 destinations this year.
