Air Astana will continue relying on Jettainer’s expertise in Unit Load Device (ULD) management. This longstanding partnership between the global leader in ULD management services and Kazakhstan’s national airline, headquartered in Almaty, that began in 2007, has been renewed again on a long-term basis. Air Astana’s ULD needs will change in the coming years due to its planned fleet modernization with the introduction of Boeing 787 aircraft. Jettainer will continue to partner closely with the airline as it takes this step and supports it with customized solutions.
Air Astana is focusing on growth. The Kazakh airline plans to increase its fleet from 60 to 80 aircraft, including Boeing 787 Dreamliners, by the end of 2028. The planned fleet change will result in a growing and diversified ULD fleet. Jettainer will provide comprehensive support and expertise during the transition. By working with Jettainer, Air Astana will not only benefit from a dedicated ULD fleet but also from efficient ULD management. This will ensure smooth operations and contribute to seamless tracking and monitoring of ULD movements, leaving Air Astana to focus fully on its core business.
Berik Abdrakhmanov, Director Ground Services at Air Astana, commented, “We have been working very well and closely with Jettainer for more than 18 years. We are confident that Jettainer’s team of experts will continue to help us achieve our growth plans with the innovative and customized ULD services we need to make them happen.”
Dr. Jan-Wilhelm Breithaupt, Jettainer’s CEO, added, “Air Astana’s decision to extend our joint contract is evidence of the trust and satisfaction that the company places in our services. Our customized solutions offer Air Astana the flexibility and reliability it needs to meet increasing requirements and undertake its planned fleet expansion with three Boeing 787s.”
