Official statement

Due to the current developments in the region and the resulting uncertainty around travel and industry schedules, we have decided to postpone the upcoming edition of SkyMove MENA, originally scheduled for 5–6 May 2026.
This decision has been made after careful consultation with our partners and industry stakeholders to ensure that the event can deliver the level of participation and engagement the industry expects.

The new dates for SkyMove MENA are currently under review, and further updates will be shared in due course.

We thank our sponsors, exhibitors, partners and the wider air cargo community for their continued support.

ABOUT THE EVENT

SkyMove Air Cargo MENA is the meeting place for the commercial leaders shaping air cargo across the Middle East and North Africa.
At its core, SkyMove is about routes, capacity, and commercial partnerships — the decisions that determine where cargo flows, who carries it, and how markets are developed across MENA.

Now in its second edition and hosted in Riyadh, the forum takes place as Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 accelerates investment in air cargo infrastructure and capacity — reshaping competition across the region.
