The Russian airline has a fleet of 18 Boeing 747 Freighters with over 10,000 ULDs, which are being supplied from Unilode’s global fleet of around 120,000 ULDs.
Unilode has supported AirBridgeCargo’s growth with ULD management since 2004 and the contract has now been extended for another five years.
AirBridgeCargo general director, Sergey Lazarev says: “AirBridgeCargo is pleased to continue its long-term partnership with Unilode that has developed an intimate understanding of our requirements during our 14 years of cooperation and has continuously invested in its ULD fleet to support our airline’s growth since the beginning of our operations.
“We are confident that Unilode is the right partner for AirBridgeCargo and look forward to our continued partnership.”
Unilode chief executive officer, Benoit Dumont says: “We are committed to expand our ULD repair and management network, and invest in relevant technology, equipment and digitalisation including ULD tracking solutions to help AirBridgeCargo achieve its ambitious growth plans and continue to deliver excellent service to its customers.”
