Airland Logistics

What Airland Logistics does

Airland Logistics is a privately held international freight forwarding and project logistics provider founded in 1975 and headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark. The company delivers air, ocean, road, and multimodal freight services alongside customs clearance and project forwarding for enterprise clients in the automotive, heavy equipment, mining/oil & gas, pharmaceuticals, consumer goods, and industrial manufacturing sectors. Following its 2003 acquisition by Group CEO Jan Jensen, Airland expanded into a global network with regional offices in Perth (Australia), Toronto (Canada), and Johannesburg (South Africa), supporting operations across 62+ countries with disclosed annual turnover above USD 2 billion and freight throughput of 285,000 tons by air and 970,000 TEU by sea.

The company monetizes primarily through transaction-based fees on freight movements and subscription-based access to its proprietary Logiman customer platform, which provides real-time shipment visibility, AI-powered document validation, custom analytics dashboards, and emissions reporting. Airland's competitive positioning rests on exclusive memberships in the Hi-Tech Forwarder Network (HTFN) and Worldwide Project Consortium (WWPC), deep in-country expertise in Africa, the Middle East, and Mongolia trade lanes, and an enterprise field-sales motion led by the CEO and Group Directors who engage directly with clients on complex project requirements across mining, oil and gas, automotive, and pharmaceutical verticals.

The go-to-market is a direct enterprise field-sales model executed through the four regional offices, with pricing structured on quote-based transaction fees per shipment (mode, volume, destination, and cargo type). Logiman operates as a complementary subscription-based digital layer offering shipment tracking, document management, custom analytics, and emissions reporting. The company holds founder-led ownership under Jan Jensen with a global directorate (Jan Jensen, Claus Moestrup, Tony Berson); no external institutional investment or public listing has been disclosed. Industry compliance includes Cargo iQ, FIATA, and IATA memberships.
