The Swiss cargo carrier has completed its rollover to a range of brand-new, lighter, and more sustainable containers. The new ULDs not only modernize the air freight division’s operational activities but also offer potential for fuel savings and CO2 emissions reduction, this way contributing to more sustainable cargo operations. With the support of Jettainer as a trusted supplier and partner, more than 3,300 old AKE and AKH containers have been replaced with new ones. This weight reduction translates into fuel savings of nearly 900 tons per year, and contributes to lowering greenhouse gas emissions of nearly 2,770 tons per year, advancing the air freight division’s goal to more sustainable cargo operations. In addition, Swiss WorldCargo has recently replaced over 1,500 old PMC and PAJ pallets with brand-new versions.
“We are very enthusiastic about our successful rollover to newer, lighter and more sustainable containers and pallets” said Miguel Seco, Head of Global Business Excellence at Swiss WorldCargo. “This completed transition marks not just the constant evolution of our cargo operations to keep delivering excellence to our customers with each shipment, but also our commitment to a future where efficiency and sustainability move forward together – lighter containers, heavier impact.”
Gert Pfeifer, General Manager DACH at Jettainer added to this: “ULDs are an essential element of aviation and therefore a lever for greater efficiency and sustainability that should not be underestimated. We are delighted to support Swiss WorldCargo on its path toward more sustainable cargo operations through the efficient management of a lighter ULD fleet.”
