ALG celebrates 20 years in India; promises regional expansion

The global air cargo General Sales & Service Agent (GSSA) Air Logistics Group (ALG) is celebrating 20 years of providing GSSA solutions in India today, on June 14, 2024.

It was in June 2004, that Air Logistics Group launched its Indian head office in Delhi. As it celebrates its 20th anniversary, ALG is looking forward to the next 20 years and promises regional expansion, as the evolving landscape of the Indian aviation & logistics industry drives airlines to consider smaller cities/airports.

“Air Logistics India is ready to embrace the rapidly evolving digital landscape, empowered by technology to enhance sales, identify and monitor market trends, and provide customers with the fastest possible quote response times 24/7,” ALG says.

With a network of 88 offices in 48 countries across 6 continents, Air Logistics Group provides customised cargo solutions across the globe, including sales, marketing, operations, customer service and accounting, supported by advanced business intelligence tools.

“I am incredibly proud of the team and their achievements over the last 20 years”, comments Vikramjit Singh Ahluwalia, managing director of India, ALG, who has been at the helm since its inception.

ALG’s India operation has a pan-India presence, encompassing all metro cities in India, with an experienced team providing customer service “while upholding the highest standards of integrity,” as he puts it.

Looking back into the last 20 years he said, “From where Air Logistics India started back in 2004, we have evolved to become a true GSSA partner, committed to delivering more than just sales assistance, we are dedicated to being a one-stop solution provider to both Airlines and Forwarders alike.”

Further experience and flair have been added to the Air Logistics Group management team as Sakshi Gupta, country manager India, joined the organisation in July 2016.

She believes that the organisation’s success lies in the strong foundation that Air Logistics Group provides – financial stability, IT investment, compliance and business intelligence – alongside the knowledge and expertise that the local team have in this unique market.

As she puts it, “Air Logistics India prides itself on its ability to provide exceptional customer service, with round-the-clock responses, in a very personalised industry that values interpersonal relationships.”

Stephen Dawkins, chief executive officer of Air Logistics Group, confirms that Air Logistics India has contributed significantly to the global growth of Air Logistics Group over the last 20 years.

“In Vikramjit we found a true professional partner who has ensured that our reputation has continued to grow in a significant cargo market,” he said.

“The Indian air cargo industry is unique, and the team have successfully adapted to meet the challenges and demands of this dynamic market while maintaining the highest level of transparency and compliance,” adds Dawkins.

While congratulating on the anniversary, S.L. Sharma, chairman of Skyways Group, points out the hard work and dedication of the ALG India team which brought success to the company.

Yashpal Sharma, managing director of Skyways Group, appreciates the professionalism displayed by the ALG India team.

Meanwhile, Vipin Vohra, chairman of Continental Carriers, pointed out the strong bond between the management of the two companies.

“This strong bond continues to flourish benefiting both of our companies and I'm confident it will only grow stronger in the future,” he added.
