ACL Airshop has renewed its ULD Supply & Management agreement with Kalitta Air, extending a relationship that now spans more than 25 years for another five years.
The partnership, one of the longest-standing in the air cargo industry, has centered on supplying and managing Unit Load Devices (ULDs) — the containers and pallets used to move freight on cargo aircraft — for Kalitta Air’s global operation. Over more than two decades, the two companies have worked together on ULD solutions, operational support, and ongoing process improvements.
Under the renewed agreement, ACL Airshop will continue providing end-to-end ULD Supply & Management services while modernizing and digitizing Kalitta Air’s ULD fleet. The goal is to improve visibility into the fleet, boost performance, and support Kalitta Air’s operations worldwide.
Arthur “Shunkin” Jamison, Assistant Director, OCC, Ground at Kalitta Air, said strong partnerships underpin a successful global cargo operation, and that the renewed agreement builds on a relationship grounded in trust and consistent performance. He added that as Kalitta Air’s network continues to expand, the company is looking forward to working with ACL Airshop on further innovation and operational efficiency.
Wes Tucker, COO of ACL Airshop, echoed that sentiment, noting that partnerships of this length take years to build. He thanked the Kalitta Air team for more than 25 years of collaboration and said both companies have adapted together as the industry has changed, with more growth ahead.
The renewal signals continued investment by both companies in the infrastructure behind global air cargo — a sector where reliable, well-managed ULD fleets play a quiet but essential role in keeping freight moving efficiently around the world.
