Three years on from its initial beginnings in 2022, the partnership between ULD management company, Jettainer, and the then 1-year-old CMA CGM AIR CARGO airline subsidiary of the well-known maritime logistics provider, has now been extended. The press release does not give a definite timeline, speaking only of an early extension for the ‘long-term’ and citing ‘additional requirements resulting from planned fleet expansion’ as the reason for the contract renewal. The ULD management provider will continue to provide comprehensive ULD management, maintenance and repair services to the airline, ensuring that a customized ULD fleet is always available, wherever in the world it is required. “Cutting-edge steering technologies are used to move all units as efficiently and sustainably as possible, to track them seamlessly and to provide the customer with comprehensive and transparent data on all ULDs in the network at all times via its unique IT solution JettwareNG,” the release underlines. CMA CGM AIR CARGO operates a fleet of eight aircraft: five Boeing 777F, one Airbus A330F, and two Boeing 747F. It is due to take delivery of a further eight Airbus A350Fs from next year onwards. Its fleet operates from strategic hubs in France, the United States, and Belgium, to ensure the most efficient connectivity across key global air cargo routes, as CMA CGM Group is focused on rapid, end-to-end supply chain solutions for e-commerce, perishables, and high-value goods. Dr Jan-Wilhelm Breithaupt, CEO of Jettainer, commented: “We would like to express our sincere thanks for CMA CGM AIR CARGO’s trust in our services. We are committed to providing our customers with the best possible ULD services each and every day. To this end, we are constantly innovating, such as in the area of digitalization, with the aim of fully exploiting the possibilities that the ONE Record standard offers for ULD management.”
