CHEP Aerospace Solutions has renewed its unit load device (ULD) management contract with Fiji Airways for another five years.

The Switzerland based ULD management company will provide Fiji’s national airline with new lightweight containers to help reduce fuel costs and lower CO2 emissions.

Fiji Airways general manager for freight, Watson Seeto says: “Our outsourcing agreement with CHEP has returned the expected benefits of reduced costs and improved efficiencies and we are pleased to continue to entrust our ULD supply and management requirements to CHEP.”

“As we would like to equip our fleet of modern aircraft with lightweight containers, we value the benefits of utilising a common pool of fuel efficient composite units.”

CHEP Aerospace Solutions president, Dr Ludwig Bertsch says: “We have worked in partnership to develop a range of tailor-made solutions that support Fiji Airways’ growth at the lowest total cost whilst delivering significant improvements in sustainability, and look forward to our continued relationship.”
