Ajex Logistics Services is a Middle East-based company specialising in express distribution and shipping solutions. Under the terms of the agreement the companies will collaborate to offer comprehensive airport ground and cargo handling, and management of special cargo projects.

“By combining our regional strengths with Chapman Freeborn’s extensive global network, we are committed to delivering enhanced aviation and cargo solutions that support the Kingdom’s ambitious growth objectives,” said Mohammed Albayati, ceo at Ajex Logistics Services.

The move by Chapman Freeborn comes as a strategic response to Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 programme which aims to increase air freight capacity to 4.5 million tonnes per year. The company has made significant investments in personnel throughout the last two years, including the appointment of Linas Dovydenas as president of India, Middle East and Africa (IMEA) in November.
