Growing Kalitta Air renews with ACL Airshop

Freighter operator Kalitta Air has renewed its partnership with ULD firm ACL Airshop for a further five years.

Under the renewed agreement, ACL Airshop will provide ULD supply and management solution covering the lifecycle of Kalitta Air’s ULD fleet.

Services include fleet control, repair and maintenance, net replacement, global logistics, digital tracking, analytics,  customer support and reporting, and operational support.

ACL will also modernise and digitalise Kalitta Air’s ULD fleet to improve visibility and extend the service life of its ULD assets.

Arthur Jamison, assistant director, operational control centre, ground services, Kalitta Air, said:  “We’ve built a long relationship based on trust, performance, and a shared focus on delivering reliable solutions for our customers.

“As Kalitta Air continues to grow its worldwide network, we’re excited to continue working alongside ACL to drive innovation, improve operational efficiency, and support the next generation of air cargo logistics.”

ACL Airshop chief operating officer Wes Tucker added: “We’ve grown together, adapted to a changing industry, and continued to find new ways to advance their ULD operations.”

The expansion of the ULD deal between the two firms comes as Kalitta Air has been expanding its fleet of freighters.

In 2025, aircraft lessor AerCap began delivering converted Boeing 777 freighters to launch operator Kalitta Air as part of a seven-aircraft order placed by Kalitta as it works to modernise its fleet and replace its ageing Boeing 747 freighters.

According to aircraft tracking site Planespotters.net all seven of the aircraft have now been delivered, joining a further eight production 777Fs and 22 Boeing 747-400Fs.
