Kales Iceland appointed Air China cargo GSSA ahead of new service

Kales Iceland, a joint venture between TVG-Zimsen, a subsidiary of Eimskip, and Kales Group B.V., has been appointed General Sales and Service Agent (GSSA) for Air China in Iceland, supporting the airline’s cargo business and commercial development in the market.

The appointment comes as Air China prepares to launch a three-times-weekly service between Beijing and Keflavík via Copenhagen from 26 October 2026. The service will operate using Airbus A330-300 aircraft carrying both passenger and cargo traffic.

The new connection is expected to create additional opportunities for trade between Iceland and China. Icelandic exporters, particularly those shipping fresh seafood and other time-sensitive products, will gain another route to reach Chinese markets, while importers will benefit from a scheduled air connection and improved access to goods and suppliers in China.

Kales Iceland will provide cargo sales, service and operational support to Air China, connecting the airline with Icelandic freight forwarders, exporters and importers.
