Thai AirAsia X, Unilode extend ULD management partnership until 2029

Unilode Aviation Solutions and Thai AirAsia X have announced the early extension of their full-service ULD management partnership until 2029. Thai AirAsia X awarded the full-service management of its ULD fleet to Unilode in 2014. Unilode supplies a digitised ULD fleet from its global pool to Thai AirAsia X for its current fleet of seven Airbus A330 aircraft. As part of Thai AirAsia X’s expansion plans, the total aircraft fleet size will grow to 20 widebody aircraft with new routes being added over the next few years. Captain Pittinun Intarasak, Chief Operations Officer of Thai AirAsia X, said: “Thai AirAsia X is thrilled to return to a stabilised operation mode after the pandemic and strengthen its leading position in the low-cost medium-haul market in the Asia Pacific region. We are delighted to continue partnering with Unilode for ULD solutions as the expansion of our widebody fleet creates significant revenue-generating opportunities for our cargo business. ULD availability is crucial for the success of our passenger and cargo operations, and we will continue counting on Unilode’s excellent support over the next six years and beyond.”
