Luxembourg-based cargo airline Cargolux and Unit Load Device (ULD) provider Unilode Aviation Solutions have renewed their longstanding partnership.
Cargolux first awarded the management of its ULD fleet to Unilode in 2009. Unilode, which now has a fleet of 172,000 ULDs, provides a dedicated customer success management team based in Luxembourg, plus network planning through its operations control centre in Bangkok.
Maintenance and repairs are undertaken at 50 Maintenance, Repair, and Operation (MRO) facilities worldwide.
Unilode said its pooling concept and digital capabilities will further support Cargolux through its new digital developments such as the E-ULD app and customer portal.
Joep Bruijs, senior vice president global logistics – Cargolux, said: “Unilode’s continuous support and ULD management expertise has played a pivotal role in ensuring that Cargolux has the ability and agility to meet our everyday ULD needs.
“Cargolux is committed to being an industry leader in the air cargo market. By embracing innovative technologies, Unilode’s digital journey will enable our airline to enhance the services offered to our cargo customers. It is important to collaborate with strategic partners who share our values and vision, and we are pleased to be able to continue our strong relationship.”
Ross Marino, chief executive, Unilode, added: “We are delighted to extend our longstanding partnership with Cargolux, and their trust in the Unilode team and our services makes us extremely proud.
“We are excited about the opportunity to continue working together. Over the next five years, we will strive to achieve continuous improvement that results in ever better service excellence, and to deliver on our digital transformation and sustainability targets.”
