Oct 08, 2012 (newstodate): The Norwegian manufacturer of ULDs, Nordisk Aviation Products has landed a significant order from Finnair for its lightweight ULDs.
Finnair has selected Nordisk Aviation Products to provide its wide-body aircraft with lightweight ULDs, which will result in improved fuel economy and significant reductions in CO2 emissions.
The Nordisk UltraLite AKE containers weigh 55 kg, about 1/3 less than Finnair's current ULDs, and this will save Finnair approximately 800 tonnes in fuel and more than 2,500 tonnes of CO2 annually.
Finnair is expected to take delivery of the new ULDs by the end of this year.
