Saudia Cargo has recently been awarded the certificate of European Union Good Distribution Practice (EU GDP) in the sector of pharmaceuticals by the global certification leader SGS. This recognition will serve as a testimony for Saudia Cargo’s commitment towards high-quality storing and transporting services of pharmaceuticals and medical cargo.
