"Greener" ULD management for the Indian Ocean
Unilode Aviation Solutions, a provider of outsourced ULD management, repair and digital services, and Air Austral, a Reunion Island-based French airline, have extended their partnership concluded in 2016. Under the terms of the renewed agreement until 2026, Unilode will supply lighter weight and more durable digitalised containers for Air Austral to further reduce the fuel costs and CO2 emissions of the carrier's five wide-body aircraft, three B777-300ER and two B787.
Air Austral CEO Joseph Brema: "We are very pleased with the renewal of our partnership, particularly at a time when we are recovering our pre-Covid activity. The new digital containers supplied by Unilode will help us reduce our carbon footprint and save on fuel costs, an environmental issue to which we are particularly sensitive." (ah)
