Unilode Aviation Solutions and American Airlines Partner on ULD Management and Digitalization

Unilode Aviation Solutions and American Airlines have announced a long-term ULD management partnership.

The partnership will take effect from October 1, 2025, where Unilode will provide American Airlines with full ULD management services, leveraging its repair network, asset availability from its ULD fleet and digital technology.

As part of this collaboration, Unilode will equip American Airlines’ ULD fleet with its Bluetooth® and Lora-enabled tracking technology, providing asset visibility, location tracking and condition monitoring of ULDs.

Additionally, Unilode offers digital solutions like the eULD app and customer portal. These applications will complement Unilode’s ULD tag and reader network, enabling American Airlines and its partners to monitor ULD status, track assets, maximize ULD utilization and optimize operational decision-making with real-time data insights.

“American Airlines is committed to investing in innovative solutions that improve operational performance and deliver a seamless experience for our customers,” said Greg Schwendinger, president, American Airlines Cargo, “Unilode’s expertise in ULD management and digital tracking technology will play a crucial role in modernizing our operations and ensuring the highest level of reliability and service.”

Unilode will also provide ULD maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services across its repair network. Additionally, Unilode will expand its Americas Customer Success team to support American Airlines’ operations. Planning and positioning of ULD assets will be managed from Unilode’s Operations Control Center (OCC) in Bangkok.

“We are thrilled to partner with American Airlines to support their ULD operations with our innovative solutions,” said Ross Marino, CEO of Unilode Aviation Solutions, “Our digital tracking capabilities and expertise in ULD management will bring significant benefits to American Airlines’ cargo and passenger operations, and we look forward to a successful collaboration for many years to come. We sincerely thank American Airlines for placing their trust in Unilode.”

Chief Commercial Officer, Unilode Aviation Solutions, Mohammed Akhlaq continues, “This partnership underscores the strength of our ULD management solutions and the dedication of our team to providing world-class service. We look forward to working closely with American Airlines and contributing to their continued success.”
