AERION is a new Think-tank designed to support airlines in managing and evolving their cargo business. Built as an agile and consultative structure, AERION brings together commercial, digital, operational, and support expertise within a single strategic framework to optimize performance and rethink traditional models.
Rather than a service provider or a consulting firm, AERION is a tailored strategic platform designed to help airlines structure, transform, and unlock the full value of their cargo operations.
The ambition: restoring control to airlines
In an increasingly complex market — marked by operational pressure, regulatory demands, and digital transformation — AERION offers a coherent, modular, and high-impact response. Each airline can activate only the capabilities relevant to its needs, receiving both strategic insight and operational execution. An actionable structure AERION draws on the proven expertise of several companies, aligned into four main performance streams:
• Commercial: GSA services, market development, and flow management via ECS Group, Global GSA, Mail & More.
• Tech: digital tools, platforms, data solutions, and automation via CargoTech.
• Operations: supervision, quality, compliance, and on-the-ground excellence via TCE.
• Support: legal, contractual, HR, billing solutions via Squair. Each stream operates independently but can be combined to deliver custom-built, highperformance strategies.
Balanced governance to drive long-term vision
AERION is led by Chairman Adrien Thominet, supported by an Executive Board of Directors overseeing operational execution. A separate Advisory Board, composed of leading figures in the air cargo industry, contributes to shaping strategic priorities and tracking market evolution. This dual structure ensures both strategic depth and operational agility.
AERION: Built to meet today’s challenges
At its core, AERION offers airlines a high-level task force, ready to activate commercial, digital, regulatory, or organizational levers without the need for internal expansion. The objective is simple: deliver sustainable performance, driven by profitability, modernization, service quality, and future-readiness.
A Strategic Partner, Not a Vendor
Adrien Thominet explains the spirit of AERION this way: “Imagine you’re leading an airline and you’re under pressure to do more with less — sell better, automate more, control costs, stay compliant. You don’t need another provider. You need a team that sees the whole picture, who can quietly and efficiently strengthen your cargo performance without the noise. That’s what AERION is. A strategic ally, discreet but decisive.”
