For another five years, Jettainer will take over the worldwide control and maintenance of the loading equipment fleet of Swiss International Air Lines as well as the air freight subsidiary Swiss WorldCargo and the sister company Edelweiss Air.

As part of the contract extension, Jettainer is replacing more than 650 older AKE containers with lighter and more environmentally friendly lightweight ULDs. With the associated weight and kerosene reduction, the Swiss carrier would like to continue on its way to more sustainability in air traffic, as the company announced in a press release. “We look forward to expanding our close and long-term cooperation with Jettainer. With its newer, lightweight models, Jettainer is able to meet our sustainability standards and commitments, as we continue to find innovative ways to reduce our global carbon footprint, ”says Lorenzo Stoll, Head of Cargo at Swiss.
