It will provide services in Hail, Al Jouf, Tabuk, Yanbu, Taif, Abha and Jizan, adding to services at Jeddah, Riyadh, Madinah, Dammam, Al-Qassim and Al-Ula airports.
Adding the new stations will increase Swissport’s flight handling capacity in Saudi Arabia by 50% compared to 2024.
Starting off with passenger and ramp handling services, Swissport is looking to add cargo handling, aircraft cleaning and lounge operations at the new airports to become a one-stop-shop for airlines.
Hamad Alhemede, CEO of Swissport Saudi Arabia, said: "We are dedicated to providing reliable, high-quality ground services that ensure a consistent, top-tier experience for both airlines and passengers. We extend our sincere thanks to GACA, Matarat, and the Air Connectivity Program for their continued support and collaboration, which have been instrumental in making this expansion possible."
Dirk Goovaerts, CEO of Swissport for Continental Europe, Middle East, Africa and India, added: "By expanding our presence to 13 airports across Saudi Arabia, we are reinforcing our commitment to support the Kingdom’s transformation into a global aviation hub. Our growing footprint places us at the centre of this remarkable growth, delivering world-class ground services that enhance the travel experience and help connect Saudi Arabia with the world.”
