Steffen Fessler is taking over as Head of Cool ULD at Jettainer.

In his new role, he is responsible for the operations and ongoing development of cool&fly, the unique cool ULD management service of the company.

In the announcement, Jettainer said the service for airlines comprises full cool ULD order management with full responsibility for the entire process, minimizing risks and costs.

Jettainer manages around 12,000 cool ULDs every year. 

Prior to this appointment, Fessler was Business Manager for Cargo Tools at Lufthansa Industry Solution, where he was responsible for the implementation of various air cargo IT projects and already supported Jettainer in software development and infrastructure projects.

In addition, Fessler gained extensive logistics expertise from his time at international building materials producer Puren, where he was heading the logistics department.

"With his IT and logistics background, Steffen Fessler is the ideal candidate to consistently drive forward our service area of cool ULD management," said Dr Jan-Wilhelm Breithaupt, CEO of Jettainer.

"The management of containers for temperature-sensitive goods is a highly complex process that requires absolutely precise and careful planning. We offer the world's most efficient solution, contributing significantly to our customers’ success, which Steffen and his team will continue to improve technologically in the future," he added.

With cool&fly, Jettainer offers a one-stop-shop service that covers all processes of cool ULD leasing and management for its customers.

As an intermediary between the airlines and the suppliers, Jettainer said its cool ULD experts take care of ordering, efficient and timely positioning to reduce demurrage costs, monitoring and proactive interventions in case of irregularities.

Jettainer runs a dedicated temperature control excellence centre in Abu Dhabi, that operates 24/7/365 to ensure the smooth running of the entire cool ULD management journey.

Fessler will lead the centre and drive the expansion of cool&fly's service while enhancing its technology and processes.
