Press Release: FIATA and AON World Announce Strategic Partnership to Advance the Global Freight Forwarding Community
Geneva, Switzerland, 8 April 2026 — FIATA is pleased to announce that it has a new Bronze Partner: AON World, a network dedicated to connecting and empowering professionals within the global logistics and freight forwarding industry. This collaboration marks a meaningful step in advancing the shared mission of both organisations: to support, connect, and elevate the global freight forwarding community.
FIATA has played a central role in representing and supporting freight forwarders worldwide for the last 100 years, with a focus on fostering dialogue, professional development, and forward-looking industry vision. This partnership with AON World demonstrates how FIATA and AON World jointly contribute to a more interconnected freight forwarding landscape, supporting professionals in engaging and accessing opportunities within an otherwise highly fragmented environment. By working together, both organisations aim to bridge this gap, bringing greater coherence to industry interactions and amplifying the voice of freight forwarders in a shifting global trade context.
“Partnerships like this one with AON World are central to how FIATA continues to evolve alongside the industry it represents. The strength of freight forwarding lies in its ability to connect across borders, organisations, and perspectives. AON World reflects a more curated and relationship-driven approach to that connectivity. Together, we can ensure that freight forwarders remain visible, relevant, and influential as the industry continues to transform. We warmly welcome AON World into the FIATA community and look forward to advancing this collaboration for the benefit of the global freight forwarding community.”
— Dr Stéphane Graber, FIATA Director General
AON World brings a focused approach to building trusted, high-quality connections within the logistics sector. Partnering with FIATA offers an opportunity to align this network with a broader institutional perspective, reinforcing its international reach while contributing to a more cohesive industry landscape.
“We are pleased to partner with FIATA, an organisation that reflects the diversity and global nature of our industry. At AON World, we are committed to building long-term, trusted relationships, and we see this partnership as an important step in strengthening our role within the global logistics community."
— Rudy Suharto, Director, AON World
