While purchasing ULDs has long been the norm in Japan, leading carriers around the world are increasingly turning to ULD leasing. We support both — taking the complexity out of the entire procurement process.
In Japan, the typical ULD procurement process involves airlines negotiating directly with manufacturers, outsourcing assembly separately, and then receiving delivery — a fragmented workflow involving multiple vendors that creates scheduling and quality management challenges.
We handle everything in-house: from manufacturer negotiations and coordination, to assembly, inspection, and final delivery. We streamline the entire process, maximizing cost savings and time efficiency for our clients.
We also offer ULD leasing solutions — widely adopted in Europe and North America — not only for peak seasons and emergencies, but as a strategic tool for planned operational cost optimization.
About ULD Leasing
We offer both Short-Term and Medium-to-Long-Term leasing options to suit your needs and timeline.
Ideal for situations where ULDs are needed temporarily — such as peak seasons or urgent demands. Use exactly what you need, for as long as you need it, without the burden of asset ownership.
Best suited for:
- Covering temporary ULD shortages during peak periods
- Securing ULDs immediately for urgent situations
- Trying leasing before committing to a purchase
Finace Lease
An asset acquisition-style lease designed for clients who want to own ULDs at the end of the lease term. Enjoy the same outcome as purchasing — with reduced upfront investment. With a single point of contact handling everything from manufacturer negotiations to assembly and delivery, the experience is as seamless as a direct purchase.
Best suited for:
- Acquiring ULDs as company assets while minimizing initial investment
- Planning stable, long-term operations
Maintenance Lease
A fully managed lease that includes maintenance costs within the lease fee. Any repairs required during the lease period are handled at no charge or at a discounted rate. Because we operate our own ULD repair and assembly service, we can offer truly seamless integration between leasing and maintenance — a total support solution only we can provide.
Best suited for:
- Keeping repair costs predictable within budget
- Consolidating leasing and maintenance under one vendor
- Minimizing the burden of ongoing maintenance management
