TCE strengthens its global footprint with first African office in Morocco

TCE, the specialised leader in air cargo operational supervision, compliance, and quality, has taken another decisive step in its worldwide growth strategy by opening its first African office at Casablanca Mohammed V Airport (CMN).

This expansion underscores TCE’s ambition to deliver world-class operational services across every continent, and to provide airlines and partners with consistent, high-performance solutions wherever they operate.

“Our vision is to combine regional expertise with uniform global standards,” explains Sarah Scheibe, Managing Director of TCE. “Morocco is a natural choice for our African debut. Its strategic location connecting Africa, Europe, and the Middle East, combined with modern logistics infrastructure and a dynamic export market, make it a key hub for air cargo flows. This is where we can create immediate value for our partners.”

The Casablanca office, led by Viktor Staroshaliev, Team Lead – Customs Reporting, begins operations with a dedicated team of five, trained both on-site and remotely to meet TCE’s stringent quality and compliance requirements. Operating as the primary gateway to the African market, the team will serve both local and global customers, already managing major accounts such as Canadian carriers WestJet Cargo and Air Transat.

Far more than a regional base, Casablanca will function as an integral part of TCE’s worldwide network, working in close coordination with headquarters in Frankfurt and other international offices. Services will include cargo handling oversight, customs facilitation, and customer support, all delivered with the efficiency and precision that define TCE’s brand.

“By establishing this presence in Morocco, we extend our reach to a continent with enormous growth potential while reinforcing the global connectivity our customers rely on,” says Staroshaliev. “And true to our commitment to sustainability and innovation, our Casablanca office is 100% paperless.”

With this milestone, TCE continues to set the standard for operational excellence in air cargo, ensuring that airlines benefit from local expertise backed by global leadership.
