Stanislas Brun, senior vice president, global air freight at GEODIS, said Unilode’s ULD management services proved to be the most convenient and appropriate solution for its ‘startup airline activities’

The forwarder recently leased its own A330-300 converted freighter to overcome the capacity shortages. This air freight charter flies to AMS, ORD, STN and HKG.
