What does AerOceaNetwork look for in applicants for membership?

Mainly what we require to join AerOceaNetwork (AON) is demonstrable commercial cargo forwarding excellence. We want companies who are can prove their abilities to handle various types of general cargo and are very active in their local markets for this business. We want companies who have good reputations both locally and abroad. A solid candidate for AON is a shipping or logistics company that is independent, locally established, yet willing to grow their company in conjunction with AON overseas partners. Although we do not require our members to ever stop using their own agency networks that they have developed organically, as a rule of thumb we like our AON members to give at least 50% of their new business to other AON members by the end of their first year of membership.
