Neutral Air Partner (NAP) has launched a specialized network for pharmaceutical logistics. NAP Pharma was introduced on July 6, 2026, during NAP’s 10th annual general meeting in Marrakech. This network is aimed at qualified freight forwarders and air cargo partners operating in the field of pharmaceutical, health, and life sciences logistics.
The new network brings together pharma-certified small and medium-sized freight forwarders, cold chain specialists, packaging providers, technology companies, as well as compliance and logistics experts in the life sciences sector. NAP Pharma aims to support independent air freight specialists working in one of the most demanding sectors of global logistics, where quality, training, compliance, transparency, and trustworthy partnerships are crucial for safe and reliable supply chains.
The initiative builds on the long-standing strategic partnership between NAP and Pharma.Aero, a global platform for collaboration in the life sciences and medical technology supply chain. After more than four years of collaboration, NAP and Pharma.Aero are expanding their activities through education, knowledge sharing, industry-specific engagement, and access to recognized expertise in pharmaceutical logistics.
Several NAP members have already participated in Pharma.Aero’s Pharma Logistics Masterclass, reflecting the growing interest of independent freight forwarders in developing specific skills for pharmaceutical and health logistics. The next Pharma Logistics Masterclass will take place from September 14 to 17, 2026, in Frankfurt and Antwerp, where NAP Pharma will be present to demonstrate its commitment to professional development and cross-industry collaboration in life sciences logistics.
Additionally, NAP Pharma is supported by a new collaboration with 4Viso, a platform for compliance and risk management in pharmaceutical logistics. 4Viso brings a digital perspective on compliance to the network, focusing on audit readiness, risk transparency, and structured partner information.

Through our strategic partnership with Pharma.Aero and the support of 4Viso in compliance intelligence, we are creating a focused platform that helps our members build the right skills and connect with recognized experts.”
Frank Van Gelder, Secretary General of Pharma.Aero, emphasized the importance of collaboration:
“Pharma.Aero is pleased to further strengthen its collaboration with Neutral Air Partner through the introduction of the NAP Pharma Vertical. Education, knowledge sharing, and cross-industry collaboration are crucial for improving the quality and resilience of supply chains in the life sciences sector.”
Stefan Hollands, CEO and founder of 4Viso, added:
“4Viso is proud to support NAP Pharma with digital compliance and risk management for pharmaceutical logistics. As supply chains in the pharmaceutical sector become more complex, better transparency, structured partner data, and audit readiness are increasingly important.”
