SAS Cargo appoints Allied Aviation as India GSSA

SAS Cargo has appointed Allied Aviation as its General Sales and Services Agent (GSSA) for India, with the partnership taking effect from 1 October 2026.

The appointment will support SAS Cargo’s five-weekly services between Mumbai and Copenhagen. The airline will operate the route with Airbus A330 aircraft, while Allied Aviation will oversee cargo sales, shipment supervision and revenue optimisation across the Indian market.

The partnership is expected to strengthen SAS Cargo’s cargo presence in India and support freight connectivity between the country and Scandinavia through Copenhagen.

Kritika Seth, Executive Director, Allied Aviation, said, “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.”

Allied Aviation will target a diverse range of commodities for the Mumbai services, including high-value pharmaceuticals, perishables, engineering goods and machinery, garments and e-commerce shipments.

Seth said Allied’s established relationships with freight forwarders across India will help generate demand for the new Mumbai services and support SAS Cargo’s expansion in the Indian cargo market.

The GSSA will leverage its nationwide network, with offices in Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Delhi, Chennai, Bengaluru, Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram, to support cargo sales and customer engagement.

The appointment is part of Allied Aviation’s strategy to expand its airline representation business by combining nationwide cargo sales capabilities with local market expertise.

Allied Aviation is also set to participate in the TIACA Air Cargo Forum 2026 in Miami, US, from 26–29 October. The company’s team will meet with airlines and freight forwarding partners to discuss its expanding GSSA network and opportunities in the Indian market.
