Aytekin Saray brings deep industry expertise, a strong commercial mindset, and a long-standing history with the company. Having started his airfreight career at Panalpina in 1996, he joined Global Airline Services (now part of Global GSA Group) in 2000, under the mentorship of Ismail Durmaz. Over the years, he played a key role in the Group’s expansion and success, notably as CCO and Managing Director for Central Europe.

“Aytekin has lived every chapter of our journey — because he helped write them,” said Ismail Durmaz, Chairman of Global GSA Group. “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.”

“It is an honor to step into the role of CEO at Global GSA Group,” said Aytekin Saray. Together, we’ll continue to strengthen our position as the independent GSA of choice, while guiding our partners through the evolving cargo landscape — from digitalization to sustainability and operational excellence. The best is yet to come.”
