SAS Cargo has officially designated Allied Aviation to serve as its General Sales and Services Agent (GSSA) in India. This strategic partnership aims to bolster the airline's cargo operations for its new service linking Mumbai, India, with Copenhagen, Denmark. The route will feature five weekly flights, utilizing Airbus A330 aircraft.
Under this agreement, Allied Aviation will assume comprehensive responsibility for cargo sales, operational supervision, and revenue maximization for all freight moving on the Mumbai-Copenhagen corridor. This move is expected to streamline cargo bookings and enhance the efficiency of freight handling for SAS Cargo in the Indian market.
For freight forwarders and logistics professionals, this development signifies a new point of contact for air cargo bookings on the SAS Cargo route between India and Europe. The appointment of a dedicated GSSA should provide clearer channels for capacity inquiries, rate negotiations, and operational coordination, potentially improving service levels and reliability for shippers utilizing this specific trade lane. It centralizes the sales effort, which can lead to more consistent pricing and better access to available cargo space.
