Madrid-headquartered charter carrier Wamos Air has extended its long-standing partnership with ULD management specialist Jettainer, reinforcing a collaboration that has supported the airline’s cargo and passenger operations for several years.
Under the renewed agreement, Jettainer— a wholly owned subsidiary of Lufthansa Cargo—will continue supplying and managing a dedicated fleet of modern unit load devices (ULDs) for Wamos Air. The arrangement ensures the airline maintains reliable access to cargo containers tailored to its operational requirements while benefiting from scalable capacity as demand fluctuates.
According to Jettainer, the partnership includes the provision of a customised ULD fleet that can be dynamically adjusted to match Wamos Air’s operational needs. The equipment is managed through Jettainer’s digital platform, JettwareNG, which enables real-time monitoring, tracking, and optimisation of ULD utilisation across the airline’s network.
Founded in 2003 and based at Madrid’s Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport, Wamos Air has built a reputation as one of Spain’s leading charter airlines. Since October 2024, the carrier has been part of the Latin American aviation holding company Abra Group, the region’s second-largest airline group.
Today, Wamos Air specialises in short- and long-term charter operations alongside ACMI (aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance) services. These services support both passenger and cargo flights on behalf of other airlines, enabling carriers to supplement capacity during peak periods or operational disruptions. The airline operates an all-widebody fleet centred on the Airbus A330, an aircraft type widely used for long-haul passenger and cargo missions.
The relationship between Wamos Air and Jettainer dates back to 2018. Since then, the ULD provider has played a key role in supporting the airline’s flexible operating model, particularly in the ACMI segment where rapid capacity adjustments are often required.
Salvador Martínez, vice president of operations at Wamos Air, emphasised the importance of the continued partnership.
“Jettainer has been a strong partner from day one, a company we can consistently rely on,” Martínez said. “Their operational excellence aligns perfectly with our high-quality standards. Thanks to Jettainer, we benefit from a comprehensive ULD supply and the flexibility to support our wet lease operations with additional ULD capacity whenever required.”
For its part, Jettainer also highlighted the strategic value of the relationship. Chief executive Jan-Wilhelm Breithaupt described Wamos Air as a key partner in the charter and ACMI market.
“Wamos Air is Spain’s leading charter airline, consistently tailoring its services to the needs of its customers and placing the highest value on service quality,” Breithaupt said.
The renewed contract underscores the growing importance of specialised ULD management services as airlines seek greater efficiency and flexibility in cargo logistics—particularly in sectors such as charter and wet-lease operations where operational requirements can change rapidly.
