Jettainer Signed the IATA Digitalization Leadership Agreement

Jettainer, the world leader in unit load device (ULD) management services, has signed the IATA Digitalization Leadership Agreement and is now an official member of the Digitalization Leadership Forum. The signing took place during the IATA Digital Cargo Conference, which was attended by 165 delegates from airlines, system providers, ground handling agencies (GHA) and forwarders.

Through this initiative, Jettainer is taking the next step by comprehensively addressing the needs and objectives of airlines, carriers, GHAs and IT system providers and developing tailor-made digital solutions for the entire air cargo industry.

A central aspect of the charter is the introduction of the ONE Record standard, which enables efficient and transparent data exchange across the entire supply chain. As part of this, Jettainer will integrate its ULDs into ONE Record as a “Digital Twin”. This will be the first Internet of Things (IoT) application as part of the new ONE Record approach. By combining its own datasets with those of other stakeholders, Jettainer is able to provide highly enriched datasets that offer maximum transparency into the location, status and type of ULDs. This data can be seamlessly linked to airline invoices via ONE Record concept web services. This also creates a new basis for better understanding industry requirements and providing more targeted solutions.

“Our IT solutions are key to ensuring the availability of ULDs for our customers at all times and at the same time being as efficient as possible. Collecting and analyzing data intelligently is at the core of what we do. This, our relationship with ONE Record and our commitment to the IATA Digitalization Leadership Charter show that we are at the forefront of this issue and take our responsibilities seriously. “By taking these developments forward, we want to contribute to the digitalization of air cargo together with our partners and transform the great potential of technology into solutions and added value,” says Dr. Jettainer CEO. Jan-Wilhelm Breithaupt.

Developed by IATA and the Cargo Advisory Council, the Digitalization Leadership Charter aims to stimulate innovation, increase efficiency and promote sustainable and consistent digital transformation. By signing the contract, Jettainer undertakes to implement the five basic principles of the contract. These principles include implementing industry-wide standards, promoting sustainability, ensuring the ethical use of technology and maintaining digital leadership, as well as increasing resilience and protection against cybersecurity risks.
