Oman Air Cargo signs with Jettainer for ULD management
OMAN Air Cargo, a fast growing cargo carrier, has signed a five-year ULD (unit load device) outsourcing contract with Jettainer, a leading outsource of ULD management.
Under the deal, Jettainer will be granted Oman Air Cargo's ULD management effective this month with Oman Air's endeavouring to "become the best" and its continuing commitment to a lower environmental footprint.
Oman Air Cargo will be deploying lightweight ULDs, made of carbon fibre as well as partly recycled composite materials. This significant change will result in the reduction of CO2 emissions, improved payload, as well as an increase in fuel efficiency.
Jettainer's highly efficient management solutions allow to reduce the existing container fleet of Oman Air by about 20 per cent to 1,200 units. Among the ULDs used so far were still 600 aluminum AKE containers.
These are replaced by state-of-the-art environmentally friendly lightweight AKEs. Another 200 lightweight containers will be added to the Oman fleet as part of the airlines expansion in the near future.
"In line with our strategy to 'become the best' and strengthen our status as a leading international cargo carrier, we are excited to work with an industry leader such as Jettainer in order to offer our clients the best possible service in line with leading industry standards," said company vice president Mohammed Al Musafir.
Said Jettainer managing director Carsten Hernig: "We look forward to work with Oman Air. We are proud that we are able to stand out from our competitors with our smart solution, which is the combination of Jettainer's experts, technology and ULD hardware."
