It was a new integrated logistics service linking Jeddah Islamic Port and King Abdulaziz International Airport. I read it's meant to speed up cargo movement for exports to key markets, especially perishables. From what I understand, it's a big push to strengthen Saudi's role as a global logistics hub.

I saw that news too—it's about a new integrated logistics corridor launched between Saudi Arabia's western ports (like Jeddah Islamic Port) and its airports, specifically to speed up cargo movement from sea to air. From what I understand, it's meant to boost re-export efficiency and position Saudi as a key logistics hub. I haven't used it myself, but colleagues in logistics say it cuts transit times significantly for goods heading to regional markets.
