Aramex has announced the inauguration of its new express courier handling facility located in the Model Cargo Village at King Khalid International Airport. According to the company, the new facility will help serve Aramex’s growing customer base more effectively and in line with its continuous efforts to improve and streamline its operations for both B2C and B2B clients.
The facility area totals about 5,900 sq m and is located in the Model Cargo Village at King Khalid International Airport. It is equipped with the latest automated parcel sorting systems with a capacity to handle up to 100,000 shipments per day. In addition, it is directly connected to the Saudi Customs Clearance systems, with expectations that it will significantly reduce the time needed to clear the shipments and deliver them to their final destination. Moreover, Aramex is expected to soon receive the Ground Services Provider Certificate (GACAR 151) issued by the General Authority of Civil Aviation.
Mr. Abdulaziz Abdullah Al-Nowaiser, General Manager of Aramex in KSA, said: “The launch of our new facility comes in line with Aramex’s plans to continue expanding and ramping up its operations in KSA, which is one of the most important markets for us. It will also contribute to accelerating the process of clearing and delivering parcels and thus enhancing the overall customer experience.”
Al-Nowaiser also shed light on Aramex’s plans to continue its investments in more facilities in KSA and support its workforce with the best Saudi talents to improve its operations and increase efficiency levels.
This is in line with Saudi Vision 2030, also focused on further developing the logistics sector and reinforcing the Kingdom’s position as a global logistics center, benefitting from its strategic geographic location and infrastructure as it links Asia, Africa, and Europe together.
