Saudia (SV, Jeddah International) has placed an order for four incremental B777-200Fs, with the first delivery scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026, and the other three staged throughout 2027.
"This announcement represents a strategic milestone in Saudia Cargo’s journey, reflecting a long-term vision we initiated years ago to enhance our capabilities and expand our global presence," said chief executive officer and managing director of Saudia Cargo, Loay Mashabi.
"The addition of four new freighters is the first step in this phase, reinforcing the value we deliver to our customers and partners, and supporting the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030 in reinforcing the Kingdom's position as a global logistics hub," he added.
The airline already operates four B777-200Fs. Its cargo fleet also comprises two B747-400(BDSF)s and one B747-400FSCD on long-term wet-lease agreements from Air Atlanta Europe, and two A330-300(P2F)s under a similar contract with ASL Airlines Ireland.
ch-aviation contacted the airline's spokesperson for comment on whether the newly ordered B777-200Fs will replace any of the wet-leased aircraft or be used for growth.

Eswatini wet leases E145 as own jet undergoes C-check
Eswatini Air (RN, Manzini King Mswati III International) has wet leased an E145 from Namibia's Westair Aviation (WAA, Windhoek Eros) for at least two months while one of its own regional jets undergoes scheduled heavy maintenance, commercial director Getaneh Desta Woldemichael has confirmed to ch-aviation....
Eswatini Air (RN, Manzini King Mswati III International) has wet leased an E145 from Namibia's Westair Aviation (WAA, Windhoek Eros) for at least two months while one of its own regional jets undergoes scheduled heavy maintenance, commercial director Getaneh Desta Woldemichael has confirmed to ch-aviation.
He said the airline's own E145, 3DC-EAB (msn 145152), has been sent for a scheduled C-check, with the carrier bringing in V5-WEJ (msn 145342) under an ACMI agreement to maintain operations.
ADS-B data shows that 3DC-EAB was ferried from Manzini King Mswati III International to Johannesburg O.R. Tambo on July 2. V5-WEJ arrived from Windhoek Eros in Manzini the following day and immediately took over the scheduled flights to Johannesburg, Durban King Shaka, and Cape Town International. The aircraft usually operates schedules under Westair's FlyNamibia brand.
Woldemichael said the ACMI arrangement is expected to cover eight weeks, although ongoing supply chain constraints could extend the maintenance period.
He added that the wet lease was also chosen because Eswatini Air has flight deck crew holding Namibian licences who can serve as co-pilots on the aircraft.
"Part of the reason this was selected is because we have flight deck crew with Namibian licences and they can operate as co-pilots, and this helps us reduce accommodation and per diem costs while allowing us to use our existing resources," Woldemichael said.
Eswatini Air operates two company-owned E145s, covering South Africa, Harare International (Zimbabwe), and Lusaka (Zambia).

Ortac (Jersey) (ORT, Jersey) has announced the addition of a Citation X, the only unit of the type currently registered in Guernsey.
The 2004-built aircraft, registered as 2-MACH (msn 750-0232) on January 27, is configured for up to eight passengers. Added to Ortac's Guernsey AOC, the jet will be available for charter based at London Luton.
This Citation X was previously operated privately until December 2025 while registered in the Isle of Man and based at Oxford Kidlington.
The addition of the Citation X marks the resumption of Citation-series operations at Ortac after the company previously operated two Citation M2s and two Citation Jet 3+ aircraft, the last of which was retired in early 2025.
Alongside the Citation X, Ortac's fleet comprises a Learjet 75, added in late 2025, and two Phenom 300Es, following the phase-out of two other Phenom 300Es, one in early 2025 and the other in early 2026.
In late 2025, Ortac exited Dassault Aviation operations with the retirement of a Falcon 2000(LX).
