Mike King speaks with Adrien Thominet, Chairman and Founder of AERION, about why the GSSA model at the heart of air cargo is being reinvented from the ground up. Thominet explains how AERION has moved beyond the classic GSSA structure, building out dedicated arms for pharma (Healthcare), e-commerce (Mail & More), total cargo management (TCE) and digital transformation (CargoTech), all under one corporate umbrella. He makes the case that airlines are increasingly comfortable outsourcing more of their commercial and operational activity, and why AERION believes there's a limited window to lead that shift before the air cargo industry consolidates around a smaller number of players. The conversation covers: • Why AERION thinks the GSSA concept needs to evolve into something closer to a "general logistics agent" • How network scale let AERION pivot capacity from Dubai to Lebanon within weeks during regional disruption • Where air cargo trade lanes are shifting, from China-to-Brazil e-commerce growth to hyperscaler demand out of Asia • Dynamic pricing, shrinking planning windows, and why shippers are being pushed toward shorter-term commitments • Which region Thominet flags as air cargo's most fragile market right now • A hint at two acquisitions AERION plans to announce in the coming months This episode is brought to you by Dimerco Express Group, connecting Asia with the world: https://www.dimerco.com/ Guest: Adrien Thominet, Chairman & Founder, AERION LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adrien-thominet-48585371/ Company: https://www.linkedin.com/company/we-are-aerion/ #AirCargo #FreightForwarding #GSSA #Logistics #SupplyChain #AERION #AirFreight #GlobalTrade #Aviation #CargoIndustry Tags

Could an AI startup just build its way into air cargo? CargoTech's President Cédric Millet doesn't think so. At Air Cargo China in Shanghai, he told The Freight Buyers' Club why domain expertise, not technology alone, is what sets his companies apart from the tech newcomers: "we know cargo."

At Air Cargo China in Shanghai, Mike sits down with Cédric Millet, President of CargoTech, to unpack how one company is pulling air cargo's software under a single roof. CargoTech is a holding company, backed by the same owner as ECS Group, the world's largest cargo GSA, that brings together specialist software companies, each focused on its own domain. Millet's pitch is a simple one: "we know cargo." He argues that because the portfolio's leaders came out of airlines, forwarders and GSAs, their software is built to solve cargo's real pain points, a claim he draws in contrast to the wave of generic tech newcomers now entering the space. In this conversation: • Millet's case for why a group of specialists beats one do-everything platform • The "we know cargo" argument, and why he thinks domain expertise wins • How the group aims to cover the airline's full commercial chain: capacity, revenue management, forecasting, distribution, charters • His claim that CargoTech covers around 75% of airline needs today, and plans to expand into cargo operations, compliance and sanctions checks • The 105 airlines and 20,000+ forwarders he says are connected • The new Kuala Lumpur hub • Why he sees clean data as the foundation • Where AI actually fits: Millet frames co-pilots and agentic automation as tools, not the headline 🎙️ This episode of The Freight Buyers Club is brought to you by Dimerco Express Group, your forwarding partner for transport from Asia to the rest of the world.
