Air-Tech Transport & Logistics GmbH

What Air-Tech Transport & Logistics GmbH does

Air-Tech Transport & Logistics GmbH is a privately held, Frankfurt-based German logistics company founded in 1998 that specializes in air cargo road feeder services (Luftfrachtersatzverkehr) across Europe. Its headquarters sit inside Frankfurt Airport's Cargo City South (Building 567 B, 3rd floor), positioning the company on-airport at one of continental Europe's largest air cargo gateways. Operations are coordinated from 55 strategic locations spanning 16 European countries using a controlled fleet of 295–350 vehicles, with the company's stated target reach of 85–110 airport destinations. Customers are predominantly European airline cargo operators and GSSA (General Sales and Service Agents) partners who require airport-to-airport ground transport to consolidate or substitute short-haul air freight movements; seven named enterprise customers include American Airlines, Latam Airlines, Tway Air, HAE-Group, ALG, Airzeta and a partner identified as Easy. Industrial/manufacturing shippers requiring dangerous goods, oversized or temperature-controlled transport are described as a secondary segment.

The company's service portfolio covers the air cargo ground-handling value chain end-to-end: road feeder service, LTL (groupage) transport marketed as "carpooling for air freight," FTL using mega-box tautliners and jumbo trailers, ATP-certified temperature-controlled transport operating between -25°C and +30°C with real-time monitoring and deviation alarms, ADR-certified dangerous goods transport, XXL oversize cargo (windmill components, turbine parts), NCTS-based customs clearance executed under Authorized Consignor status, and on-airport air cargo handling and warehousing in Seveso-standard facilities with humidity sensors, clean-room conditions and security infrastructure. Underlying these services is a proprietary communication and transport management system developed in-house and tailored to each customer's needs; no external API, SDK, or third-party TMS integration is offered. Certifications underpinning the operation include Regulated Agent status (DE/RA/001650-01), ADR, ATP, GDP for healthcare logistics, Seveso for warehousing safety, and CMR for international carriage liability.

Air-Tech operates on a sales-led B2B motion with transaction-fee revenue mechanics. Pricing is published (rates valid from 1 January 2024) on a per-shipment basis using a 1:6 volume/weight ratio, with airport-to-airport pricing of one loading and one unloading address included, and itemized surcharges for fuel (indexed monthly at iru.org), customs, cool storage (+15% plus +10% for GDP drivers), ADR dangerous goods (+15%), UK crossings (€95/ADR shipment), double drivers (+€350), warehouse transfers (€95/hour) and additional loading/unloading addresses (€85/address). Cancellation is tiered from free (>24h) to 100% (<3h). Bookings must be confirmed in writing by 14:00 for LTL and 17:00 for FTL. Payment terms are net 30 days from invoice. The company is private with no disclosed parent, no venture capital or private equity backing identified, and is represented by Carlos Moreno. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and operating volume figures conflict across language sites (German: 54,000 tonnes / 26,000 loads in 2025; English: 1 million tonnes / 100,000 loads in 2024), complicating external triangulation.
