Industry leaders pledge support to improve ULD handling

As the 31st Annual ULD CARE Conference got underway in Guangzhou yesterday, 120 air cargo leaders from across the globe pledged their support to improving best practices in handling Unit Load Devices.

“We are very pleased to receive such a great response to our appeal of our members to make a commitment to our Code of Conduct principles,” says Urs Wiesendanger, President of ULD CARE. “This commitment is demonstrated by the continued support of our organisation, adding new signatories to the Code of Conduct and promoting the code around the world.”

ULD CARE, in collaboration with Nordisk and Jettainer, have created a ULD with stickers signed by attendees of the conference to pledge their support.

“This ULD will be put into service by Jettainer and Lufthansa and will circle the globe with Lufthansa, raising awareness and bringing attention to ULD CARE and the Code of Conduct,” says Bob Rogers, Vice-President of ULD CARE “We would like to thank our partners and members for showing this commitment and moving our industry forward.”

The ULD is expected to be circling the globe later this month.
