What does ULD (unit load device) mean in logistics?
Short answer
A pallet or container shaped to fit an aircraft’s hold, used to load many packages as one unit onto the plane.
Airlines and ground handlers at Indian airports build up ULDs from forwarder cargo. Piece size and contour limits of ULDs decide what fits in belly or freighter holds. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
