Swissport International has added Al-Qassim to its growing network in the Middle East. Recently, a first flight of Pakistan International Airlines has been handled successfully at Prince Naïf Bin Abdulaziz International Airport (ELQ) in the central Gassim province of the Kingdom..
With the handling of a first Pakistan International Airlines flight arriving from Multan, Pakistan, Swissport has added Al-Qassim International Airport, Saudi Arabia, to its growing network in the Middle East.
“We are delighted to provide our quality aviation services to Pakistan International Airlines,” remarked Gerold Tumulka, CEO, Swissport Middle East.
Prince Naïf Bin Abdulaziz International Airport at Al-Qassim is located 350 km north of Riyadh, between the cities of Buraydah and Qassim. The region is one of the top three agricultural areas and production facilities in Saudi Arabia.
Swissport has been present in Saudi Arabia since 2016 when it started its operations in Riyadh and Jeddah. Dammam joined the network in 2017. Swissport has since gradually developed its business from a greenfield start-up into an established organization with a broad customer base of regional and international carriers.
Besides Saudi Arabia, Swissport Middle East is also operating in Oman together with its partner Al Jarwani Group, which holds 30% of the joint venture.
