Global GSA Group (GGG), one of the fastest-growing independent players in the air cargo industry, has announced the appointment of Aytekin Saray as its new Chief Executive Officer. This leadership transition comes during the company's 30th anniversary year and reflects its ambition to become the most agile and forward-thinking General Sales and Service Agent (GSA) in the sector.
Aytekin Saray brings extensive experience and deep industry insight to the role. He began his airfreight career at Panalpina in 1996 and joined Global Airline Services—now part of GGG—in 2000. Under the mentorship of Ismail Durmaz, he progressed through the ranks and contributed significantly to the company's expansion and success over the years. Most recently, he held the roles of Chief Commercial Officer and Managing Director for Central Europe, where he was a key driver of growth and innovation within the region.
Saray's appointment is part of a broader strategic effort by the Group to elevate its market standing. This includes the recent nomination of Zafer Aggunduz as CCO, a strategic partnership with CargoTech aimed at integrating advanced digital solutions, and a range of internal initiatives focused on strengthening the Group's global operations and service capabilities.
In conjunction with Saray stepping into the CEO role, Boris Blagojevic has been named Managing Director of Mondial Airline Services. He will oversee operations in Germany, Austria, and Eastern Europe—regions that are central to the company's continued expansion and long-term success.
