Our Story
A Logistics Beginning That Became a Diversified Group
Aero Group's story began in Qatar in 1982 as MBS Company, when the region's logistics sector was still taking shape. The business first supported personal effects and household-goods movements, responding to new transit rules that made cross-border movement more flexible.
The founders saw that customers needed one accountable partner for the increasingly complex demands of international trade. Forwarding, liner operations, customs clearance and storage were added over time, and the business emerged as Aero Freight Company in 1993.
Today, logistics remains the group's foundation. Ten active companies extend that foundation across freight forwarding, courier services, road transport, mobility, free-zone logistics, industrial trading, office solutions and project delivery.
