ULD outsourcing company Jettainer has taken over the container management and maintenance for Spanish carrier WAMOS Air, the company has announced at IATA’s World Cargo Symposium in Singapore today.
The contract with the Spanish airline based in Madrid has a five-year term. The fleet of the former Pullmantur Air consists of seven Airbus A330-200 and five Boeing 747-400 aircraft.
The WAMOS Air fleet is primarily used for leisure charter services. Some of these flights are operated on behalf of its sister company Pullmantur Cruises from Madrid-Barajas Airport.
In addition, WAMOS is also taking over charter flights for LATAM, Avianca and other major carriers. In summer WAMOS Air operates charter flights for the airline Condor, which has already outsourced its ULD management to Jettainer in 2006.
“WAMOS Air is specialized on charter and ad hoc-flights, which requires utmost flexibility. For this purpose we are happy starting a partnership with Jettainer in ULD Management.
“Their flexibility and airline experience gives us the utmost reliability we need in our business,” said WAMOS Air ground OPS & commercial routes director, Salvador Martínez Prados.
