SCANDINAVIAN Airlines (SAS) has appointed CHEP Aerospace Solutions to supply and manage its unit load device (ULD) requirements under a five-year contract.
CHEP Aerospace Solutions is providing SAS with containers and pallets from its global pool of more than 45,000 ULDs, removing the cost and hassle for the airline of positioning, repairing and managing its own fleet.
The carrier will have an option to transition to using lightweight containers supplied from CHEP Aerospace Solutions' pool, allowing it to reduce fuel emissions, helping the environment at the same time as reducing costs.
Director of network and revenue management, Kenneth Fuhrmann, said: "Contracting with CHEP Aerospace Solutions provides SAS the flexibility we need to focus upon our core business of flying passengers and cargo. CHEP proved itself to have the resources and systems to manage our needs. We look forward to our future cooperation."
Said CHEP president Ludwig Bertsch: "An increasing number of airlines are recognising that outsourcing ULD supply and management is a viable and compelling proposition."
