SAS Scandinavia Cargo has appointed Allied Aviation as its General Sales and Services Agent (GSSA) for India, with the new partnership taking effect on 1 October 2026.
The agreement will support SAS Scandinavia Cargo’s five-weekly services between Mumbai and Copenhagen. The route will be operated with Airbus A330 aircraft, while Allied Aviation will manage cargo sales, shipment supervision and revenue optimisation across the Indian market.
The partnership is expected to reinforce SAS Scandinavia Cargo’s presence in India while strengthening freight connectivity between India and Scandinavia through Copenhagen.
Kritika Seth, Executive Director of Allied Aviation, described the appointment as an important addition to the company’s airline portfolio, noting that it will give Indian exporters direct capacity into Copenhagen as well as access to SAS Scandinavia Cargo’s broader network across Scandinavia and beyond.

Allied Aviation will focus on a broad mix 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 would be used to generate demand for the new Mumbai services and support SAS Scandinavia Cargo as it expands its presence in the Indian cargo market.
The GSSA will draw on its nationwide network to support cargo sales and customer engagement, with offices in Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Delhi, Chennai, Bengaluru, Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram.
The appointment forms part of Allied Aviation’s broader 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, taking place in Miami, US, from 26–29 October. During the event, the company’s team will meet with airlines and freight forwarding partners to discuss its expanding GSSA network and opportunities within the Indian market.
