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

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 Scandinavia 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.
