More than 500 cargo and special flights have been carried out during the Covid-19 crisis, including transportation of stranded EU citizens as well as of urgently needed cargo.
As a result, said ULD management specialist Jettainer, there is an increased overstock or understock of loading devices at different locations.
At some destinations, ULDs are required where none of the Jettainer customers have their own stocks.
Jettainer coordinates closely with the responsible task forces that were introduced to fulfill the need for short-term ULD handling.
In addition to the containers, Jettainer also provides pallet stacks and nets for cargo securing on passenger seats so that customer airlines can also load parcel shipments to exceptional destinations such as Lima, Auckland or Christchurch.
Thomas Sonntag, Managing Director of Jettainer, said: “Especially in emergency and crisis situations airfreight is of central importance.
“With our international network we can provide the required unit loading devices quickly and flexibly. I would like to thank the entire team that is doing its utmost for days to meet the increasing demand for short-term solutions,” says GmbH.
Jettainer’s global leasing offer for ad hoc needs, JettLease, also assists here.
Jettainer provides existing customers, but mostly non-ULD customers with units at stations that are outside of their regular flight schedule. In China in particular, predominantly in Shanghai, the demand has recently increased significantly.
The growing number of charter flights with medical equipment or humanitarian freight mainly explains the unpredictable need of ULDs.
In addition to suitcase and freight containers, pallets, car racks and horse stalls, nets for securing goods in freight and passenger machines complete the offer of JettLease.
