AeroUnion outsources ULD management to Jettainer

Mexican cargo airline AeroUnion has outsourced the management of more than 800 Unit Load Devices (ULDs) to Jettainer in a five year contract.

AeroUnion operates an all-cargo fleet of three Airbus A300s and two Boeing 767-200s, serving a network of 21 destinations in the US and Latin America via its Mexico City hub.

ULD management specialist Jettainer will carry out precise fleet analyses in order to exploit potential for optimization and to save costs.

The Lufthansa subsidiary also takes over the complete management and maintenance of the ULDs, ensuring that the loading equipment is always available at the right place at the right time.

Said Alonso Haro, AeroUnion chief executive: “With Jettainer, we have found a partner who guarantees us 100 percent and also highly efficient ULD availability.

“At the same time, it was important to us that a high understanding of the cargo business and the necessary flexibility and customer orientation be brought in, which is fully present at Jettainer.”

Said Shailendar Kothari, managing director at Jettainer Americas: “AeroUnion adds another ambitious cargo airline to our customer portfolio in the Americas.

“The region is an important growth market for us, where we want to further expand our leading role. We are very much looking forward to supporting the airline on its growth path with innovative ULD services.”
