ST Engineering orders 7 Telair A320 lower deck cargo loading system
Telair’s LD-CLS includes pre-assembled floor modules with pre-installed cargo loading components
Telair announced during the Singapore Airshow that ST Engineering’s aircraft leasing business has ordered seven lower deck cargo loading systems (LD-CLS) for its A320 Passenger-To-Freighter (P2F) aircraft.
Telair’s LD-CLS stands out as the world’s only lower deck cargo loading system that includes pre-assembled floor modules with cargo loading components that are pre-installed, says an official release.
"With the burgeoning demand in e-commerce logistics, the A320P2F, equipped with Telair’s LD-CLS, emerges as the perfect solution, offering unparalleled efficiency and adaptability to meet the dynamic needs of the rapidly evolving e-commerce landscape. The A320P2F, along with the A321P2F variant, are the only freighter aircraft platforms of their class to offer both upper and lower deck containerisation capability."
Tan Boon Keng, SVP, Head, Aircraft Leasing, Aviation Asset Management, ST Engineering says: “The application of Telair’s LD-CLS on our A320P2F leasing programmes enables our freighter lessees to utilise the full usable e-commerce volume in compartments which are typically not used on same-class freighters. With the additional seven pallets in the lower deck, the A320P2F has a total containerised volume of 160m3, 15 percent more capacity than its direct competitors. The A320P2F’s e-commerce volume, on top of its inherent general market capabilities, provides a competitive advantage enabling our freighter lessees to enjoy the best of both worlds. This partnership with Telair strengthens our A320P2F leasing products and sets new air cargo standards as we respond to growing demand for this aircraft type."
Ralf Schonzler, President, Telair adds: “We are thrilled to collaborate with ST Engineering in elevating the capabilities of their A320P2F fleet. Telair’s LD-CLS is a game-changer in the world of cargo loading systems, providing unparalleled ease of installation and containerised capability in the lower deck. ST Engineering’s decision to partner us further validates the industry-leading position of Telair’s innovative solutions."
