South African Airways Cargo appoints Zeal Global Services as GSA for the Indian market

South African Airways Cargo (SAA Cargo), the airfreight division of South African Airways, has appointed New Delhi-based General Sales Agent (GSA) Zeal Global Services as its GSA for the Indian market. This strategic move signifies a broader commitment by SAA Cargo to strengthen its footprint across key Asian trade lanes, with India identified as a pivotal market in the airline’s post-pandemic recovery strategy, emphasised a report.

This appointment is part of a broader initiative to revitalise its commercial airfreight network in Asia, following the pandemic-induced operational reset. Zeal Global, established in 2014, brings deep-rooted expertise and a robust operational footprint across major Indian cities. The firm has a track record of managing cargo GSA operations. The GSA currently operates its own freighter services through its affiliate, Pradhan Air Cargo, between India and Dubai. This experience positions Zeal as a valuable conduit for expanding SAA Cargo’s reach in the Indian Subcontinent, the report highlighted.
