Jettainer has been awarded a five-year contract by Etihad Cargo and will continue to provide and manage unit load devices (ULDs) for the carrier.
Following a comprehensive analysis, the ULD expert will digitalize Etihad Cargo’s entire ULD fleet and equip it with Bluetooth low energy (BLE) tags.
The tags will enable Etihad Cargo to collect and use meaningful data for its business development and further automate processes.
Jettainer has managed and maintained Etihad Cargo’s customized ULD fleet since 2011.
Said Thomas Schürmann, Head of Cargo Operations and Delivery at Etihad Cargo: “Despite the challenges the air freight and cargo sectors have faced due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Etihad Cargo has continued to grow and evolve.
“It has been critical for us to work with partners who understand our objectives and can help us achieve our ambitious targets. The Jettainer team has been offering us reliable and innovative services around the clock to meet our needs for over ten years now.”
Said Thorsten Riekert, Jettainer’s Chief Sales Officer: “It’s important to us that we embrace innovation and digitalization. That’s why we are equipping our customers’ ULD fleets with tracking technology where it is meaningful – and that’s exactly what we’ve seen at Etihad Cargo.”
