Jettainer and WestJet Airlines extend co-operation

Canada’s second largest airline, WestJet, and outsourced ULD management company Jettainer are extending their long-term partnership by a further five years, two years before the contract is due to expire.

Since the start of the partnership in 2015, WestJet’s operation has been growing steadily, with the fleet of containers and pallets increasing from around 350 to some 2,000 units today. WestJet currently operates 120 Boeing 737 aircraft and four Boeing 767-300, as well as taking delivery of the first of ten newly ordered Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners in January this year.

“We are very pleased with WestJet’s confidence in our services. The premature extension of the contract explicitly expresses this and is an incentive for us to continue to convince through our best service in the future,” said Carsten Hernig, Managing Director of Jettainer GmbH.

“The early renewal of our contract is proof of the good partnership we have enjoyed with Jettainer over the past four years. We see the ULD specialist as an ideal partner to continue our growth course,” commented Director Cargo at WestJet Airlines, Heidi Mackenzi.
