The five-year deal started on 1 March and Jettainer will provide containers and pallets for T’way’s three Airbus A330-300s that will join its fleet in May.
Jettainer will provide T’way with a customised ULD fleet and manage steering, maintenance and repairs of all units.
The ULDs provided and managed by Jettainer will initially fly on routes from Seoul’s Gimpo International Airport to Jeju International Airport with international flights to Singapore and Vietnam expected to follow.
By 2025, T’way plans to add more seven A330-300s to its fleet and operate medium and long-haul flights.
Sung-sup Park, Chief Cargo External Affairs Director at T’way Air says: “As we grow our fleet now and in the future, we are deliberately embracing sustainable and cost-efficient ULD solutions so this partnership is an excellent fit with our constant efforts to increase innovation, cut costs, and enhance efficiency.”
Thorsten Riekert, Chief Sales Officer at Jettainer adds: “We are active all over the globe and recognise that the Asian market offers significant potential to us, as aviation will continue to grow there in the years ahead. Outsourcing ULD services is an especially attractive alternative for expanding airlines like T´way Air as efficient management cuts costs and reduces CO2 emissions.”
