Saray started his air cargo career in 1996 at Panalpina and joined Global Airline Services, now part of Global GSA Group, in 2000 under the leadership of Ismail Durmaz.
He has played a key role in Global GSA Group’s growth with roles including CCO and Managing Director for Central Europe.
Ismail Durmaz, Chairman of Global GSA Group said: “Aytekin has lived every chapter of our journey — because he helped write them. He’s a leader with vision, strategy and action. His appointment reflects our commitment to go further, faster, and continue offering our airline partners smarter, more agile and more digital solutions.”
Saray’s appointment is one of several moves at Global GSA Group including the promotion of Zafer Aggunduz as CCO, the strategic partnership with CargoTech to integrate digital tools and internal transformations to strengthen its global network.
Commenting on his new role, Saray said: “This company has shaped my professional journey, and I’m deeply committed to its values and future. Together, we’ll continue to strengthen our position as the independent GSA of choice, while guiding our partners through the evolving cargo landscape — from digitalisation to sustainability and operational excellence. The best is yet to come.”
