SAL Logistics Services and Saudi Post (SPL) have signed an agreement to improve mail handling and transportation operations across various regions of Saudi Arabia.
Under the agreement, SAL will assume full supervision of mail handling operations – from the moment shipments are received to ensuring their safety during transfer between warehouses, postal facilities and aircraft.
The agreement is intended to enhance the efficiency of express mail operations and achieve greater integration between the postal and logistics sectors in the kingdom.
Mohammed Nahhas, CEO of SAL‘s ground handling sector, said, “We are proud of this partnership with Saudi Post, which aims to strengthen the integration between logistics and postal networks in the kingdom, in line with our shared objectives to serve the national economy.
“Leveraging SAL’s expertise in ground handling and cargo management, we will ensure faster, safer and more reliable processing of postal shipments.”
Khalid Al Mohammed, vice president of processing and outlets at SPL, explained that signing this agreement with SAL reaffirms SPL’s commitment to developing the postal and logistics ecosystem in the kingdom and enhancing its integration with strategic partners.
He added that SPL’s postal network, spread across all regions of the kingdom, will adopt the highest standards of quality and security in mail processing and accelerate distribution operations. This will support the growing e-commerce sector and strengthen SPL’s position as a key player in the national logistics landscape.
