Kales Iceland appointed Air China cargo GSSA ahead of new Beijing–Keflavík service
Kales Iceland, a joint venture of TVG-Zimsen and Kales Group, has been appointed Air China’s cargo GSSA in Iceland as the airline prepares a three-times-weekly Beijing–Keflavík service via Copenhagen from 26 October 2026.
Kales Iceland, a joint venture between TVG-Zimsen, a subsidiary of Eimskip, and Kales Group B.V., will provide cargo sales, service and operational support to Air China, connecting the airline with Icelandic freight forwarders, exporters and importers. The venture was established to offer neutral GSSA services to international airlines operating in Iceland. Kales Group, established in 1994, operates in 38 countries through 79 offices and represents more than 70 airlines.
Air China is preparing to launch a three-times-weekly service between Beijing and Keflavík via Copenhagen from 26 October 2026. The route is to use Airbus A330-300 aircraft carrying both passenger and cargo traffic.
The new connection is expected to create additional trade opportunities between Iceland and China. Icelandic exporters, particularly those shipping fresh seafood and other time-sensitive products, would gain another route to Chinese markets, while importers would benefit from a scheduled air connection and improved access to goods and suppliers in China.
