CargoForwarder Global first reported on Aerion in mid-MAY25 (see: https://cargoforwarder.eu/2025/05/18/aerion-quietly-redefining-air-cargo-with-expertise/ ), just prior to the Air Cargo Europe in Munich at the start of JUN25, when the ‘strategic think tank for airlines seeking to transform and elevate their cargo business’ met with the general cargo public for the first time. Now, just a few weeks later, Aerion has appointed Ismail Durmaz as Partner Corporate & Business Affairs, and reveals that its Advisory Board will soon be announced. Ismail Durmaz will work closely together with Aerion Chairman and Founder, Adrien Thominet, on “aligning Aerion’s vision with its strategic partnerships and operational execution,” as the group pursues its growth plans. Aerion’s vision is to combine the expertise of leading experts from cargo, logistics, tech, and innovation to ensure customers are best equipped to deliver sustainable, future-proof cargo services. As the release explains: “What sets Aerion apart is its ability to deliver modular, customizable, and fully integrated solutions across the entire logistics chain: Commercial, Tech, Operations, and Support. Airlines gain access to strategic insight, digital acceleration, operational excellence, and ancillary services integration—resources that are rarely accessible in such a concentrated and immediately operational form. This enables clients to build bespoke strategies and accelerate transformation, without the burden of major in-house investments.” – A concept that was well-received at Munich’s ACE. “Aerion also fosters strategic collaborations and investment opportunities – co-creating, co-investing, or supporting initiatives that reflect its long-term vision for transforming air cargo.”
Ismail Durmaz, Partner Corporate & Business Affairs, commented: “I am honored to join Aerion at such a pivotal moment for the industry. This project brings real value to airlines: access to shared expertise, cutting-edge digital tools, and a holistic vision – all delivered with unmatched agility. It’s a new way to imagine service and performance in air cargo.”
Adrien Thominet, Chairman of Aerion, explained: “Aerion was born from a simple belief: airlines need tailor-made solutions, total transparency, and high-value strategic support. Our strength is making the inaccessible accessible, giving our clients immediate access to expertise and innovation.”
