The company claimed its containers are “unique” due to the lightweight materials used. 

“The container’s significantly lower weight reduces CO2 emissions by 45%, representing a saving of four tons of CO2 on long-haul flights, such as a round-trip between Zurich and San Francisco,” the company claimed. 

The containers have been approved by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). 

“We are very excited about this new investment, which represents an important milestone for Swiss Airtainer,” Seligman said.
