Air New Zealand is partnering with Unilode Aviation Solutions, to provide the airline with a full service, unit load device (ULD) management solution.
The partnership will also allow Air New Zealand to leverage Unilode’s digital containers and pallets, e-ULD app and customer dashboard, gaining access to enhanced data analytics and operational efficiencies. 

Unilode will provide ULD management to the airline, repair, and digital services for Air New Zealand’s flights across its global network, and carry out MRO services in Auckland, Christchurch, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, and Brisbane.

Air New Zealand General Manager Cargo, Anne Dunne, explains the airline is looking forward to partnering with Unilode to provide a better experience for customers, employees, and the wider cargo ecosystem.

She says, “We’re excited to join forces with Unilode, who share our commitment to innovation and customer excellence. This partnership will allow us to benefit from Unilode’s expertise, resources, digital ULD fleet, and worldwide network, streamlining our ULD operations and ultimately helping provide a better experience to our customers. For our cargo customers, this means better ULD availability and for our team it means more digital tools to support them in their work every day.” 

Ross Marino, Unilode Chief Executive Officer, says, “We are thrilled about Air New Zealand’s decision to select Unilode for the global full-service management of its ULD fleet, following an extensive tender process. With this contract award and Air New Zealand’s confidence in our services, Unilode is further strengthening its position in Oceania and is enhancing the scale and network reach for all of our customers operating in this region.”
