Aerion revamps air cargo model, names Ismail Durmaz as partner

Aerion is positioning itself as a transformative force in the air cargo industry, unveiling a bold, strategic roadmap at ACE Munich that has already sparked partnerships and industry-wide interest. Emphasising agility, expertise, and modularity, Aerion has emerged as a go-to strategic partner for airlines seeking to modernise their cargo operations without the overhead of major internal restructuring.

What makes Aerion’s approach unique is its ability to deliver fully integrated, modular solutions spanning the entire logistics value chain—Commercial, Technology, Operations, and Support. This modular design allows airlines to pick and choose what fits best for their growth strategy while gaining access to strategic advisory, digital acceleration tools, operational best practices, and value-added service integration, all under one roof.

At the heart of Aerion’s value proposition lies an ability to offer solutions that are not only immediately deployable but also scalable and adaptable. This provides clients with the agility to execute transformation initiatives rapidly and cost-effectively, an offering that stands in contrast to traditional, more fragmented consulting and logistics models.

Further underscoring its forward-looking agenda, Aerion is not limiting itself to consultancy alone. It is also cultivating strategic collaborations, co-creation opportunities, and investment partnerships that echo its long-term vision for reshaping the air cargo space.

In a significant leadership move aligned with its growth strategy, Aerion has appointed Ismail Durmaz as Partner Corporate & Business Affairs. Durmaz will work alongside Chairman and Founder Adrien Thominet, focusing on aligning Aerion’s strategic objectives with high-impact execution and stakeholder partnerships.

“I am honoured to join Aerion at such a pivotal moment for the industry,” said Durmaz. “This project brings real value to airlines: access to shared expertise, cutting-edge digital tools, and a holistic vision—all delivered with unmatched agility.”

Aerion will also soon introduce an Advisory Board made up of seasoned experts from logistics, technology, cargo, and innovation sectors. This board will serve both as a strategic think tank and client-support mechanism, ensuring Aerion’s offerings remain sharply attuned to market demands.

Chairman Adrien Thominet summed up the mission succinctly: “Aerion exists to make the inaccessible accessible, offering bespoke, high-value solutions airlines can implement now.”
