The company noted that under his leadership, ECS Group has become the world's largest GSSA — and his experience and vision will be instrumental as TIACA addresses the evolving needs of the air cargo industry. 

"The Board is very purposeful when selecting new Board members as we must have a clear representation across the industry to ensure all issues our industry is facing are addressed. Adrien Thominet is a great leader who has had plenty of experience at a leading global GSSA. We look forward to working with him, and we are sure he will have plenty to contribute," said Steven Polmans, chairman of TIACA. 

"Being appointed to TIACA's Board is a great privilege," Thominet said. "TIACA plays a critical role in uniting the global air cargo community to tackle challenges and foster innovation. Representing GSAs provides an opportunity to actively contribute to the sustainable growth and modernization of our industry."
