AERION has officially launched as a pioneering think-tank dedicated to supporting airlines in managing, transforming, and elevating their cargo business. More than just a consultancy or service provider, AERION positions itself as a strategic platform — agile, consultative, and fully modular — designed to help airlines regain control and unlock the full potential of their cargo operations.

In an era defined by mounting operational complexity, regulatory demands, and rapid digital transformation, AERION delivers a coherent, high-impact, and customizable approach. Airlines can selectively activate capabilities according to their unique needs, accessing both strategic guidance and hands-on operational support. The core mission: to deliver sustainable performance through improved profitability, modernization, service excellence, and future-readiness.

AERION brings together a wealth of expertise through four core performance streams. The Commercial stream, led by ECS Group, Global GSA, and Mail & More, focuses on GSA services, market development, and flow management. The Tech stream, powered by CargoTech, delivers advanced digital tools, platforms, data solutions, and automation. Operations, managed by TCE, ensures quality, compliance, supervision, and operational excellence on the ground. Finally, the Support stream, via Squair, provides critical legal, contractual, HR, and billing infrastructure. Each stream operates independently but can be seamlessly combined to offer bespoke strategies tailored to each airline’s objectives.

The think-tank is helmed by Chairman Adrien Thominet and guided by a dual-governance structure comprising an Executive Board of Directors overseeing operational delivery and an Advisory Board made up of influential industry leaders to shape strategic direction and monitor market dynamics. This structure ensures both deep strategic alignment and agile execution.

“At AERION, we recognize the challenges airline leaders face — from selling more efficiently and automating smarter, to reducing costs and maintaining compliance,” said Adrien Thominet. “You don’t need just another vendor; you need a team that sees the full picture, offering quiet, decisive support that strengthens your cargo performance. That’s what AERION delivers — a strategic ally, not a provider.”
