Sats, which has operations in Saudi Arabia and Oman, has not experienced any "material disruption" to its operations in the region.
Sats says it is "deeply concerned" with the unprecedented airspace closures in some Gulf States that are affecting the global air cargo supply chain.
While flight disruptions may temporarily delay some shipments, Sats says air cargo typically moves through alternative routes as supply chains adjust. "Sats’ global presence positions our network to mitigate or manage supply chain disruptions, and to serve changing trade flows," the company says.
For the company, the Middle East is seen as a "fast-growing and opportunity-rich" region, with demand driven by e-commerce and specialised cargo services such as pharmaceuticals, temperature-sensitive, and time-critical express cargo.
Its operations in Saudi Arabia recorded a 12% increase in air cargo volume handled from 2024 to 2025, but this amounts to a small part of its global tonnage.
Sats shares traded at $3.67 as at 2.11 pm, unchanged for the day but down from $3.80 on Monday, just after fighting broke out over the weekend.
