Aero-Link moves into European market

Aero-Link Consulting has upped
its game and stepped into the
European market.
This follows its appointment as
cargo handling agent for Turkish
Airlines.
Aero-Link managing director
Jeremy Anandkumar told FTW
the contract came into effect on
July 16 this year, and while the
company is still in the process
of refining and streamlining the
service, it has heralded a new era.
“We have predominantly
been dealing with airlines in
Africa. With this contract we
are stepping into the European
market and are no longer under
the radar. We believe that we are
establishing a solid reputation as
a cargo handling agent.”
Having invested in
infrastructure upgrades in
recent months, the new contract
is very much a part of the
strategic planning of Aero-Link
Consulting.
“It has in fact been a
challenging few months due to
the growth explosion we have
experienced,” says Anandkumar.
Commercial manager Andre
Hoffman agrees.
“We have invested in a
dedicated and committed staff
who all have a very hands-on
approach and we have put a lot of
emphasis on our service delivery.
Accuracy, efficiency and timedriven
processes are what give
you a competitive advantage,”
says Hoffman.
Both Anandkumar and
Hoffman say that meeting the
high service level standards of
Turkish Airlines is of extreme
importance to them.
“This is a company where
service is integral – and we
intend to keep it that way,”
says Anandkumar. “Our key
management are all people
with good reputations that are
respected in the industry and
that is very much a part of our
success. We would rather walk
away from a quick buck than put
our reputations on the line. We
deliver on our promises.”
