The partnership will deliver fleet utilisation improvements and operational complexity reduction while supporting Thai Airways' sustainability goals
Unilode Aviation Solutions has become the full ULD management service provider for Thai Airways and will provide ULD management, maintenance, repair, and digital tracking services across the airline's global network.
The partnership will provide Thai Airways with real-time visibility, improved asset utilisation, and enhanced sustainability reporting across its operations. It is further supported by Unilode’s operations control centre in Bangkok.
The partnership also aligns closely with Thai Airways’ sustainability ambitions. By sharing assets across Unilode’s global network, fewer ULDs are required to support operations, thereby reducing raw material consumption, minimising waste, and lowering carbon emissions.
Centralised repair and refurbishment within Unilode’s network further extends asset lifecycles, supporting circular economy principles.
Emerging successfully from its business rehabilitation, Thai Airways is now entering a new phase of growth and modernisation.
The airline’s five-year strategic plan focuses on operational excellence, fleet renewal, and digital transformation and the airline aims to nearly double its fleet to approximately 150 aircraft by 2033 and grow its market share across key international markets.
Ross Marino, chief executive of Unilode, said: “We are delighted and proud to become Thai Airways’ full ULD management service provider. Our partnership will deliver measurable results, improving efficiency, bringing digital transformation, and supporting Thai Airways’ sustainability ambitions."
Thai Airways added: “Partnering with Unilode is an important step in our transformation strategy. Their expertise, global network, and digital solutions will help us streamline operations, strengthen reliability, and make tangible progress toward our sustainability goals.
“Thai’s transformation is built on strong governance, innovation, and partnerships like this that enable us to deliver enduring value to our passengers, shareholders, and partners.”
