A new service in the Cargo pharma range
This ?Variation Pharma Control 15-25?C? service is intended for temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical shipments that need to be kept between 15?C and 25?C. During their transportation to the airport, throughout their storage and during the flight, the products are stored in this temperature range. Moreover, dedicated structures have been set up both at Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Amsterdam-Schiphol. At the present time, this service is available to and from some 30 destinations and the number of destinations available should significantly increase by summer 2013.
Air France-KLM-Martinair Cargo is one of the first airlines to offer this service throughout the entire procurement logistics chain. By implementing this new product standard, the Company is meeting the pharmaceutical industry?s increasing demand for handling goods at these temperatures.
A range of specific solutions for the pharmaceutical industry
This new service illustrates the leading position that Air France-KLM-Martinair Cargo wishes to retain on this market segment in order to continue to be a privileged partner for the pharmaceutical industry. For many years, Air France-KL-Martinair Cargo has been offering solutions specially designed for the sensitive transport of pharmaceuticals by introducing specialized equipment and dedicated staff. The Group can in this way regulate the air transportation temperature up to -20? in refrigerated containers.
Pharmaceutical products are handled with utmost care by teams who must scrupulously observe the handling methods of such products, as well as the new IATA recommendations for medical products.
