Saudia Cargo wrestles with special cargo

Saudia Cargo had to grapple with a special cargo operation recently when it was tasked with transporting equipment for wrestling organisation WWE’s Royal Rumble event.
The airline used one of its widebody Boeing 747Fs to haul in tons of production equipment, including the wrestling ring, from New York to Jeddah on behalf of Saudi General Sports Authority to help create the spectacular wrestling show.
