When Incheon International Airport Corporation recently launched its “Incheon Airport, Green Cargo Hub” project; a plan to make our skies greener with lightweight ULDs, TFI's TUFFlights took center stage with luminaries from the major Korean Airlines. Incheon International Airport Corporation is doing its part to promote a greener planet with an initiative that splits the cost of lightweight composite ULDs with Asiana Airlines, Korean Air and UPS. The project has begun with 80 units that will be flying the green “Incheon Airport, Green Cargo Hub,” logo, showing the world the commitment the airport and the airlines have to reducing CO2 emissions through lighter air-cargo containers.
Taiwan Fylin Industrial was proud to see its TUFFlights displayed prominently at the opening ceremony of the project as all the press and industry spectators looked on with great interest. According to e-Cargonews Asia, a composite container like the TUFFlight cuts around 40% off the weight of the first generation steel containers of yesteryear. This cut translates into a reduction of around 4,536 kilograms of CO2 emissions and a saving of 1,803 liters of fuel per container per year!1
And when this weight savings is coupled with unbeatable toughness, and a panel rigidity that completely overcomes the sagging and bulging of many other composites on the market, the TUFFlight glistens on the podium with a confidence that shouts, “Hurrah to TUFFlight and its role in a Greener future!”
