Saudi Arabia’s new national carrier, Riyadh Air, has appointed FlyUs Aviation Group as its General Sales Agent (GSA) for the UK and Ireland, effective 26 October 2025.
The partnership comes as the airline prepares to begin its first scheduled services to London Heathrow Airport (LHR), with daily Boeing 787-9 flights linking the UK capital with Riyadh.
Under the agreement, FlyUs will manage sales, customer support and capacity optimisation for Riyadh Air’s cargo operations in the region.
Carlo de Haas, president and chief executive of FlyUs, said: “It is rare to see a new airline commence daily widebody operations into Heathrow, so being involved from the first departure is a real privilege.
“This appointment is a testament to FlyUs’s proven track record in cargo sales and our commitment to delivering market-leading representation.
“This partnership offers the market direct and reliable access into Saudi Arabia, a market of growing importance for manufacturing, e-commerce, perishable and high-value logistics.”
Pravin Singh, Riyadh Air’s head of cargo, said the partnership would help the airline establish a strong foothold in the UK and Irish markets: “The appointment of FlyUs marks the beginning of a strong partnership built on shared ambition and operational excellence.
“Their local expertise and proven track record will help us deliver Riyadh Air’s promise of dependable, customer-focused cargo solutions across the UK and Ireland.”
Riyadh Air, established in 2023, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF).
The airline is expected to play a key role in advancing the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 strategy by connecting Riyadh to 100 global destinations by 2030, supporting trade, tourism and logistics growth across the region.
