Air Unit Sizes
An air freight unit or unit load device (UDL) is a pallet or container used to hold freight that is to be shipped via air freight. These units keep your goods safe during transit and allow for faster transitions through airports and customs.
Air freight units come in two different forms:
Pallets: Large flat-based open-top units with aluminium rims designed to lock onto cargo net lugs.
Containers: Closed units that can either be made completely of aluminium or made of a combination of aluminium, polycarbonate sheets and cargo nets. These are designed to fit perfectly in the circular cargo hold of the plane.
Our loaders will choose the most appropriate unit for your freight so that you don’t have to. Airline units availability is dependent on the airline and the destination.
