Kalitta Air Extends ULD Partnership with ACL Airshop for Five Years

Kalitta Air has renewed its unit load device partnership with ACL Airshop for five years. The agreement covers comprehensive ULD fleet management including maintenance, repair, replacements and global logistics coordination. ACL Airshop will modernize Kalitta's ULD operations with enhanced digital tracking and visibility systems while extending asset service life. The renewal comes as Kalitta Air accelerates capacity expansion. AerCap delivered all seven converted Boeing 777 freighters from Kalitta's order in 2025, supplementing the carrier's fleet of eight production 777Fs and 22 Boeing 747-400Fs. These aircraft support Kalitta's efforts to modernize its network globally. Arthur Jamison, assistant director of operational control at Kalitta Air, cited the partnership's foundation in reliability and innovation. ACL Airshop COO Wes Tucker noted the firms have adapted together through industry changes.
