After 15 years of ULD management success, Cargolux and Unilode Aviation Solutions have again renewed their partnership vows for a further five years. Europe’s largest cargo airline therefore continues to have access to Unilode’s ever-increasing fleet of 172,000 ULDs, benefiting both from the ULD expert’s container placement services as well as their digital connectivity – an important factor in shipment journey transparency. By its own admission, “Unilode owns and manages the world’s largest digitally enabled ULD fleet. Unilode’s unique pooling concept combined with its digital capabilities will further support Cargolux through its new digital developments such as the E-ULD APP and customer portal.” Having global access to such a large, modern fleet of containers, gives Cargolux the freedom to flexibly expand its network to meet market requirements.
Alongside a Luxemburg-based, dedicated customer success management team, and network planning experts located in its Operations Control Centre in Bangkok, Unilode also carries out ULD maintenance and repairs across a dense, global network of 50 Maintenance, Repair, and Operation (MRO) facilities.
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 Officer of Unilode, said: “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.”
