Swissport and Riyadh Air to launch Saudi Arabia's first Centralized Load Control centre

Swissport Saudi Arabia and Riyadh Air have signed a long‑term strategic partnership to create Saudi Arabia’s first Centralized Load Control (CLC) centre in Riyadh, with the facility expected to be operational within eight months.

The CLC will manage load planning, weight‑and‑balance calculations and load documentation for Riyadh Air’s entire network, while both partners will focus on talent development through Swissport’s global systems, procedures and the Swissport Academy, giving Saudi professionals structured training in load management. Swissport has operated in Saudi Arabia for ten years, employing more than 6,000 professionals across 20 airports.
