SkyMove Air Cargo MENA

MENA’s dedicated air cargo business forum

Routes, capacity, and partnerships

5-6 May 2026, Riyadh

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 on 5–6 May 2026, the forum takes place as Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 accelerates investment in air cargo infrastructure and capacity — reshaping competition across the region.
