Saudia Cargo has appointed Loay Mashabi as managing director, as of October 8.

The former deputy minister for logistics services at the Ministry of Transportation and Logistics Services has a background in the logistics sector and has played a key role in the efforts to bolster Saudi Arabia’s position as a logistics hub, said Saudia Cargo. 

Mashabi has previously undertaken various positions in both the private and government sectors and has also acted as a board member of Saudia Cargo, Saudi Authority for Industrial Cities and Technology Zones (MODON), Riyadh Integrated (Transportation, Logistics, Supply Chain and Storage) and Saudi Exports Authority.

Together with chief executive Teddy Zebitz, Mashabi will oversee several functions and strategic initiatives to ensure Saudia Cargo continues in its growth strategy, which includes expanding its freighter fleet.

“We are thrilled to have Loay on board and to welcome him to the Saudia Cargo family,” said Teddy Zebitz, chief executive. “His background and vast experience in the field will prove to be invaluable in our efforts to drive forward Saudia Cargo’s ambitious growth plans.”

“With this new chapter in my career, I am excited to continue serving the Saudi logistics sector and bring forth the untapped potential in the region. Saudia Cargo will, without a doubt, be just the right place to accomplish great feats in placing Saudi Arabia in the center of the logistics map” added Mashabi.
