TAP Air Portugal has appointed Aeroprime Group as its exclusive cargo General Sales and Service Agent (GSSA) across India, strengthening the airline’s cargo footprint in one of the world’s fastest-growing air freight markets. The appointment takes effect in March 2026 and marks a strategic step to expand TAP’s engagement with India’s logistics and freight forwarding community. Both companies are also esteemed members of the NAV and Neutral Air Partner (NAP) ecosystem, reflecting their active role in the global air cargo network.
Under the agreement, Aeroprime Group will manage cargo sales, marketing, customer engagement, and operational coordination for TAP Air Portugal throughout India. Leveraging its extensive pan-India presence, Aeroprime will work closely with freight forwarders, logistics providers and cargo partners to support bookings, market development and service delivery for shipments moving between India and TAP’s international network.
The collaboration aligns with TAP Air Portugal’s broader strategy to optimize cargo capacity utilization and deepen its commercial reach in India, a market experiencing sustained growth in sectors such as pharmaceuticals, perishables and e-commerce. Increasing demand for reliable connections between India and Europe, as well as transatlantic destinations, continues to create opportunities for airlines and logistics partners operating across these corridors.

Partnering with Aeroprime Group as our exclusive cargo GSSA across India strengthens our local presence and enables us to better serve the evolving needs of the Indian cargo community while expanding our reach across key global markets.”
