Amid a vast appetite and a growing contribution to the national economy, the logistics sector in Saudi Arabia has, over the years, taken steps to enhance operations and digitisation with a view to driving greater business value across the private sector.
The June issue, with an extensive Saudi focus, attempts to formulate analyses based on viewpoints of the developments in the country and in the region.
In this issue, we are featuring SAL, a champion in regional logistics that seamlessly delivers world-class logistics solutions and creates sustainable value for its stakeholders by continuously developing and leveraging its market-leading footprint, talent, partnerships, and technologies.
Established in December 2019, SAL has earned its reputation as the National Logistic Champion through its relentless pursuit of excellence and dedication to providing cutting-edge logistics solutions.

The company operates across all of Saudi Arabia’s airports, including presence at the four key hubs of Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, and Madinah, as well as across all domestic stations. SAL handles most of the country’s inbound and outbound air cargo, making it the logistic services champion within the Kingdom and a key driver in the sector’s transformation outlined in Vision 2030.
Issue also discuss how Saudi Arabia has made remarkable progress in developing world-class infrastructure and businessenabling policies that aim to place itself at the forefront of investor attractiveness.
Amazon’s expansion in the Kingdom supports Saudi Arabia’s logistics sector by bringing the latest innovations and technologies in e-commerce operations to the country. The new Fulfillment Center in Riyadh will further unlock the value of the Kingdom’s resources by empowering local startups and entrepreneurs with improved global connectivity and access to new markets.
The June edition also highlights the unique customer-centric offerings of the region’s noted used car facilitator, Cars24. According to research conducted by Google, 92% of Emirati car buyers prefer to research a car online instead of visiting a dealership to check their options. By providing a full-stack model, customers can access key information such as service history, finance and insurance options, and prices for cosmetic solutions such as tinting and coating before visiting the showroom. CEO Abhinav shares his views on how predictive marketing is an effective way to attract customers through the sales funnel.
The June edition brings you the select interviews that Logistics Gulf News has directly sourced through its interrogation with industry experts like David Dronfileld of Swisslog, George Simon of 1-Platform, and Max Avtukhov of Yango Deli at Seamless 2023.
