European Cargo has partnered with Unilode Aviation Solutions, the global leader in Unit Load Device (ULD) management and repair, to introduce a digitalised ULD pooling management solution across its global cargo operations.
By joining Unilode's global ULD network, this collaboration highlights European Cargo's commitment to enhancing operational efficiency and advancing sustainability in air freight through gaining access to on-demand ULDs and maintenance services for its fleet. This transition reduces logistics, repair, and repositioning costs while improving operational agility, crucial for an airline like European Cargo with its dynamic cargo and charter operations.
Unilode's sustainability-driven operations and digital tracking technologies will provide real-time visibility, improved utilisation, and accurate sustainability reporting, helping European Cargo measure and demonstrate tangible progress toward decarbonisation.
"This partnership will provide European Cargo with the focus, agility, and flexibility needed to support its growth strategy through our pooling concept," said Mohammed Akhlaq, Chief Commercial Officer at Unilode Aviation Solutions. "By leveraging our shared ULD management solutions, European Cargo can enhance and accelerate its expansion while staying aligned with its sustainability and digital transformation goals."
"We are delighted to partner with Unilode to strengthen our operational resilience and efficiency," said Lionel Marais, Cargo Manager at European Cargo. "This collaboration gives us the flexibility to scale our operations, optimise ULD management, and advance our commitment to sustainable and digital growth."
