ITA Airways in partnerships with Jettainer, Webcargo, Cargo One. After the Lufthansa Group’s investment in ITA Airways, announced in May, it doesn’t come as much of a surprise that Jettainer, wholly-owned by Lufthansa Cargo, has been asked to continue with the cargo equipment management for the Italian flag carrier. As for the data handling, ITA Airways Cargo has reported cooperation agreements with two partners.

 

Jettainer is set to continue supporting ITA Airways, providing the successor to Alitalia with a fleet of around 4,000 air cargo containers and pallets. Managing this cargo transport equipment is supported by IT solutions and a team of supervisors. The service thus promises transparency in the field of ULD deployment and the highest possible utilisation rates, including avoiding (empty) positioning flights, reduced costs and lower CO2 emissions.

 

The airline serves a growing network of destinations in Europe, Africa, Asia and North, Central and South America, through its hubs at Rome Fiumicino and Milan Linate. “Jettainer provides us with the reliability we expect and need to deliver our services,” Francesco Presicce, ITA Airways’ CTO and ‘accountable manager’, said.
