Qatar Airways Cargo Partners with Unilode 

Qatar Airways Cargo has teamed up with Unilode Aviation Solutions, one of the market leaders in Unit Load Device (ULD) management and digital services, to digitalise the airline’s fleet of over 42,000 ULDs. This collaboration marks the largest ULD digitalisation initiative ever undertaken by an airline.

The partnership enables Qatar Airways Cargo to leverage Unilode’s advanced digital technologies for real-time tracking, data analytics, and improved resource optimisation. Through these innovations, the airline aims to enhance operational efficiency, increase asset utilisation, and reduce costs while delivering a more sustainable and environmentally friendly operation.

Mark Drusch, Chief Officer Cargo at Qatar Airways Cargo, stated, “Our shared vision for ULD digitalisation and innovation will set new benchmarks in the air cargo industry, allowing us to optimise resources, reduce costs, and improve customer experience.”

Unilode’s CEO, Ross Marino, added, “This collaboration is a significant milestone in ULD digitalisation and demonstrates our commitment to providing technology-based solutions. Together, we aim to reshape the industry for a more connected and sustainable future.”

The partnership also expands Unilode’s tag and reader network across Qatar Airways Cargo’s global routes, supported by cutting-edge tools like the E-ULD app, web portal, and advanced data analytics platforms. These solutions are set to transform ULD management and further solidify both companies’ positions as innovators in the air cargo sector.
