Turkish Cargo has chosen Unilode Aviation Solutions for the maintenance and repair of its unit load device (ULD) fleet under a three-year agreement.

Unilode will repair Turkish Cargo’s standard and heavy-duty pallets, pallet nets, cargo and special containers at 22 locations in Unilode’s EASA and FAA-certified repair network in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the Americas, complementing the airline’s in-house repairs in Istanbul.

Unilode said Turkish Cargo’s worldwide destinations overlap with several repair stations owned and operated by the company, which makes it possible to repair ULDs where the damage occurs to significantly reduce repositioning needs, fuel burn and CO2 emissions.

“This cooperation will be providing operational sustainability, allowing high availability and better utilisation of assets for Turkish Cargo in terms of repair management,” said Vural Ursavas, SVP Cargo Operations at Turkish Airlines.
