“Our plan now is to work with our global partners, ground handlers, shippers, and freight forwarders, to ensure a solid and common understanding of the risks of moving lithium batteries, and to drive positive change in the industry." Guillaume Halleux, Chief Officer Cargo, Qatar Airways Cargo
Qatar Airways Cargo had announced, in 2021, the complete rollover of its 10,000+ ULD fleet to Safran Cabin's newly developed fire-resistant containers (FRC) designed to resist a lithium-based fire for up to six hours. To date, it has already replaced 9,000 ULDs, surpassing the 70% goal it set itself for 2022 and will continue the exchange process in 2023.
