The partnership will commence with Unilode providing ULD management to MJets Air Sdn Bhd, the commercial air cargo unit within MAC.

MJets will have access to the world’s largest, pooling network of over 172,000 ULDs. Unilode will provide ULD management and planning, access to Unliode’s ULD repair centers across 50 global airports and its ULD digital suite of services.

Additionally, the partnership is exploring the establishment of a dedicated ULD management center within XCT Aviation, which could see the expansion of service capabilities across the region.

Overall, the partnership represents a significant step for both companies’ impressive growth plans. MJets Air’s cargo operation will be significantly enhanced by having its operational capabilities strengthened across its own and Unilode’s networks.

Mr. Woo Kam Weng, Chairman of MAC, highlighting the strategic significance of the initiative, states, “This partnership with Unilode Aviation Solutions marks a transformative step for MAC, enhancing our logistics operations and positioning us at the forefront of the aviation industry in Southeast Asia. Leveraging Unilode’s unmatched expertise in ULD management will not only optimize our operations but also elevate our service offerings to meet the dynamic needs of the market.

We are confident that our ULD management solutions and expertise will provide value to MAC and support its ambitious growth plans. We thank MJets Air for their trust in our service solutions and our people.

We are delighted that MAC has chosen to partner with Unilode for their ULD needs. There is a strong focus on optimising ULD utilisation resulting in cost efficiencies and a reduction in CO2 emissions. MJets will also have access to our digital platform and it suite of services, such as the Customer Portal and the e-ULD APP.
