Norse Atlantic extends Jettainer ULD deal for operations
The renewed agreement will see Jettainer continue to supply and manage the airline’s ULD fleet, including containers and pallets, supporting its long-haul operations.
Norse Atlantic Airways has extended its Unit Load Device management partnership with Jettainer ahead of schedule, continuing a cooperation that began in 2022. The renewed agreement will see Jettainer continue to supply and manage the airline’s ULD fleet, including containers and pallets, supporting its long-haul operations.
The arrangement is based on an airline-specific fleet model designed to respond to operational changes. Management of the fleet is supported by Jettainer’s digital platform JettwareNG, which provides visibility across the airline’s ULD operations and supports oversight of inventory and movements.
Norse Atlantic Airways operates scheduled long-haul services linking Europe with destinations in the United States, Africa, and Asia. The airline uses a Boeing 787 fleet and adjusts capacity based on seasonal demand, placing focus on flexibility in fleet and resource planning.
Through JettwareNG, Jettainer provides tracking and reporting functions across the ULD fleet. These include monitoring of station inventory, recording of ULD history, movement tracking, and reporting based on performance indicators. The system is designed to support availability of ULDs and operational continuity across the airline’s network.
“From the very start of our partnership, Jettainer has provided reliable and flexible operational support. The close operational coordination and transparent fleet monitoring give us the stability we need in a dynamic market environment," says Thom-Arne Norheim, Norse Atlantic Airways Chief Operational Officer.
“Extending the contract ahead of schedule reflects the strong partnership we have built since 2022. In a highly seasonal environment, transparency and continuous performance monitoring are essential to ensure consistent ULD availability across the network,” says Dr Jan-Wilhelm Breithaupt, CEO of Jettainer.
Jettainer manages a fleet of more than 100,000 ULDs across 500 locations worldwide. The company provides services including positioning, maintenance, and repair of containers and pallets, supported by data systems and an international partner network. It also offers leasing, cold management, and temperature chain solutions.
Jettainer GmbH is a subsidiary of Lufthansa Cargo AG.
