Allied Aviation has been appointed General Sales and Services Agent (GSSA) for SAS Cargo in India, effective October 1, to support the carrier’s five weekly services between Mumbai and Copenhagen.
SAS Cargo will operate the Mumbai-Copenhagen services with Airbus A330 aircraft, while Allied Aviation will manage cargo sales, supervision and revenue optimisation across the Indian market.
“This is an important addition to our airline portfolio, giving Indian exporters direct capacity into Copenhagen and access to SAS Cargo’s wider network across Scandinavia and beyond,” said Kritika Seth, Executive Director, Allied Aviation.
The GSSA will focus on a broad range of commodities for the Mumbai services, including high-value pharmaceuticals, perishables, engineering goods and machinery, garments, and e-commerce shipments.
“Our teams have longstanding connections with forwarders across India and will use that experience to build demand for the new Mumbai services and support SAS Cargo as it develops its presence in the Indian cargo market,” Seth said.
Allied Aviation will leverage its pan-India network to support cargo sales, with offices in Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Delhi, Chennai, Bengaluru, Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram.
