Jettainer has strengthened its long-term collaboration with CMA CGM Air Cargo, extending its role as the airline’s dedicated ULD (unit load device) management partner to support a planned expansion of its freighter fleet. The renewed agreement encompasses customized ULD supply, maintenance, and repair services, complemented by advanced digital tracking solutions, ensuring CMA CGM Air Cargo is fully equipped for its growth trajectory.
Originally formalized in 2022, the contract has been renewed ahead of schedule to meet additional requirements arising from the airline’s ambitious fleet expansion. Under the extended partnership, Jettainer will continue to provide end-to-end ULD management, guaranteeing that CMA CGM Air Cargo has access to the required equipment at all times, while maintaining the highest operational efficiency.
To meet the airline’s evolving demands, Jettainer supplies a tailor-made ULD fleet optimized for performance and sustainability. Utilizing cutting-edge steering technologies, the company ensures that each unit is transported efficiently, tracked seamlessly, and monitored in real time. Through its proprietary IT platform, JettwareNG, Jettainer offers CMA CGM Air Cargo comprehensive visibility and transparent data on all ULDs within the network.
Since its launch in March 2021, CMA CGM Air Cargo has been a key pillar in the CMA CGM Group’s strategy to deliver integrated maritime, land, air, and logistics solutions. This multimodal approach allows the Group to provide tailored transport solutions, including last-mile delivery, across global markets. Currently, CMA CGM Air Cargo operates a fleet of eight aircraft, including five Boeing 777Fs, one Airbus A330F, and two Boeing 747Fs. The airline plans to expand its fleet from 2027 with the addition of eight Airbus A350Fs, operating from strategic hubs in France, the United States, and Belgium to ensure seamless connectivity on major international cargo routes.
Dr Jan-Wilhelm Breithaupt, CEO of Jettainer, commented on the renewed partnership: “We sincerely thank CMA CGM Air Cargo for their continued trust in our services. Our commitment is to deliver the best possible ULD management solutions every day. We are continuously innovating, particularly in digitalisation, to leverage standards such as ONE Record for more efficient and transparent ULD operations.”
The extension solidifies Jettainer’s role as a critical enabler of CMA CGM Air Cargo’s expansion, ensuring that the airline’s growing fleet is supported with reliable, technologically advanced ULD solutions.
