- Kales Iceland übernimmt Vertriebs- und operative Unterstützungsleistungen für Air Chinas Frachtgeschäft in Island.

- Die neue Verbindung soll den Handel zwischen Island und China erleichtern.
Eimskip is in focus after Kales Iceland, a joint venture involving Eimskip subsidiary TVG-Zimsen, was appointed General Sales and Service Agent for Air China in Iceland. The appointment was reported on October 22, 2026, by STAT Times.
A new cargo role for Kales Iceland
Kales Iceland is to provide cargo sales, service and operational support for Air China in the Icelandic market. Its work includes connecting the airline with local freight forwarders, exporters and importers.
Air China was preparing to launch a Beijing-Keflavik service via Copenhagen on October 26, operating three times per week with Airbus A330-300 aircraft carrying both passenger and cargo traffic. The arrangement therefore places Eimskip's TVG-Zimsen subsidiary close to a new air-freight connection between Iceland and China.
Strategic relevance for Eimskip
The joint venture combines TVG-Zimsen's local market relationships and logistics expertise with Kales Group's international airline-representation network. The partners are positioning Kales Iceland as an independent provider of General Sales and Service Agent services for airlines operating in Iceland.
For Eimskip, the announcement broadens the visible logistics role of a subsidiary beyond the group's maritime activities. The reported opportunity is linked to cargo representation and commercial development; neither the company nor the reports published a financial contribution or earnings target for the arrangement.
Eimskip's own investor news dated October 22 also lists the Kales Iceland Air China appointment. The company describes Kales Iceland as a new joint venture between TVG-Zimsen and Kales Group B.V.
