AERO Logistics Network has launched as the first general‑access network built specifically for air freight forwarders. It helps members expand their global reach by connecting them with vetted, airfreight‑focused partners while maintaining strong quality and compliance standards.
AERO focuses on three key pillars:
- AI‑powered verification: Each member is checked for financial and operational reliability before joining.
- Active matchmaking: A built‑in algorithm matches members by trade lanes and business needs, then facilitates direct introductions.
- Global buying power: Members gain access to better carrier deals and volume‑based pricing that small forwarders usually cannot secure alone
AERO is currently in its founding‑member phase, limiting initial membership to the first 50 companies. Founding members receive priority access, fixed‑price terms, and a voice in shaping network rules.
The network will host its first annual conference in Mallorca, Spain, this October, and launch a digital rate‑exchange portal for real‑time airfreight pricing and booking. AERO also plans online learning modules and a ‘young professionals’ group to support career development. In short: AERO is a new global network that connects air freight forwarders with trusted partners, better rates, and digital tools to help them grow internationally.
Leo Barbaroussis, Network Director of AERO Logistics Network, explained: “We’re not providing a contact directory. We’re actively connecting vetted forwarders who can move cargo together. AERO is the first air freight network combining scale, trust, and commercial value.”
