Parata Air, South Korea’s newest airline, has partnered with Jettainer to manage its unit load device (ULD) fleet for the launch of its flight operations this autumn. Jettainer will provide full management of the lightweight containers, including maintenance and advanced tracking through its JettwareNG IT solution, supporting Parata Air’s planned expansion. Initially, the airline will operate passenger flights from Incheon Airport to Japan and Vietnam using Airbus A320-200 and A330-200 aircraft. In 2026, Parata Air plans to launch transpacific routes to North America, adding more Airbus A330s, with Airbus A350s expected to join the fleet by 2028. Parata Air focuses on safety and aims to offer innovative, distinctive services that transcend traditional low-cost and full-service airline categories. The airline, formerly known as Fly Gangwon, was renamed Parata Air after its acquisition by WINIX last year and is set to commence operations this autumn. There has been no specific information on whether the airline will carry cargo, however, with Jettainer as its ULD support and smart steering, this may happen in future.
Unhyung Ko of PARATA AIR, explained: “The partnership with Jettainer, a global leader in ULD management, is an important step and ensures a highly efficient supply of lightweight ULDs for our growing route network from the very first flight. We deliberately opted for the efficiency and service quality of the experts to be able to develop our operations flexibly while at the same time having an always efficiently managed fleet of ULDs that grows in line with our requirements.”
Thorsten Riekert, General Manager Asia Pacific at Jettainer, enthused: “We are very much looking forward to being part of Parata Air’s journey from day one, supporting their ambitious growth plans with the efficient management of lightweight ULDs. Adding another customer in Asia, we are also expanding our network in the region and creating valuable synergies for Parata Air and all our customers.”
