flynas acquires 10% of Swissport Saudi Arabia for SAR 50M
flynas 4264 signed a share purchase agreement and shareholders' agreement to acquire a 10% stake in Swissport Saudi Arabia Ltd. for SAR 50 million ($13.33 million), the carrier said in a Tadawul disclosure summarized by Argaam on Sept. 7, 2026. The transaction is paired with a five-year exclusive ground handling agreement running from March 6, 2027 through March 5, 2032. flynas issued notice on Sept. 6, 2026 to terminate its existing ground handling agreement with Saudi Ground Services (SGS). The disclosure did not specify closing conditions beyond the standard regulatory approvals referenced in the SPA. The deal ties the low-cost carrier directly into Swissport's Saudi ground handling operations from the start of the exclusivity period in 2027.
Qassim Cement acquires A-Mix Ready Mix for SAR 65M
Qassim Cement Co. signed a share sale and purchase agreement on Sept. 8, 2026 to acquire 100% of A-Mix Company, a Saudi closed joint-stock ready-mix concrete producer, for SAR 65 million ($17.3 million), according to a Tadawul disclosure summarized by Argaam. The consideration is payable in three instalments. The transaction is conditional on a no-objection from the General Authority for Competition. Qassim Cement did not disclose an expected closing date in the summary. The acquisition extends the cement producer's presence into downstream ready-mix concrete, with A-Mix continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary once regulatory clearance is obtained.
