Neutral Air Partner is introducing AERO Logistics Network, a new global network built exclusively for airfreight forwarders and air cargo solution providers.
AERO has been created as a separate air cargo network with a distinct business model from NAP’s boutique, semi-exclusive and vertical expertise-driven ecosystem. It offers a general-access and non-exclusive platform for verified airfreight forwarders seeking trusted partnerships, international growth and stronger commercial opportunities.
Designed for the next generation of airfreight collaboration, AERO combines AI-powered verification, active commercial facilitation, digital tools, learning initiatives, global buying power and a dedicated young professionals’ community. Powered by Neutral Air Partner, the network benefits from NAP’s strategic foundation, air cargo expertise, operational support, commercial facilitation, communications capabilities and proven event experience.
Christos Spyrou, Founder and CEO of Neutral Air Partner, said, “Rather than turning away quality airfreight forwarders due to NAP’s forwarding network’s semi-exclusive and vertical expertise-driven model, we created AERO, a non-exclusive, digital-focused, next-generation airfreight network with wider market access. It meets growing market demand while protecting NAP’s boutique and vertical-focused positioning.”
AERO is led by Leo Barbaroussis, Network Director, AERO Logistics Network, who is driving the network’s development, founding member growth and airfreight-focused value proposition.
Leo Barbaroussis said: “AERO was created for airfreight forwarders that want more than a contact list. Our focus is verified participation, active facilitation and real business opportunities. With NAP supporting AERO, we can bring a strong operational foundation, high-quality events and proven air cargo networking experience to a wider community of forwarders.”
AERO is currently in its founding member phase, with participation limited to 50 companies before wider admission opens. Interest is accelerating across key markets and remaining founding member places are now being allocated. Companies joining at this stage receive priority access, locked-in founding member pricing, an advisory role in AERO’s development and permanent recognition within the network.
The official kick-off event, AERO Chapter I: The Mallorca Assembly, will take place from 11 to 14 October 2026 at Castillo Hotel Son Vida, Mallorca. The event will bring together AERO’s founding members and selected independent airfreight forwarders for facilitated one-to-one meetings, strategic networking, industry discussions, power talks and premium social experiences designed to create meaningful business connections.
The Mallorca Assembly will introduce the AERO member experience in a high-level business environment, supported by the event know-how and attention to detail associated with NAP.
