More than a million Covid-19 vaccines
Over a million doses of Covid-19 vaccines have been transported through IAG Cargo's dedicated facilities at London Heathrow, Madrid and Dublin (photo) to North America and Europe. Amongst these shipments are 80,000 doses from Madrid to the Canary Islands and the first batch of the Moderna vaccine to Dublin and Gran Canaria.
The carrier's "constant climate" product already plays a vital role in the distribution of vaccines. In addition to a global network of over 100 approved stations supported by dedicated specialists, IAG's Heathrow hub remains the only airside facility to be GDP certified and WDA licensed by the UK’s Medicines & Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency; and in 2019 the business opened a new pharmaceutical centre in Madrid dedicated to processing temperature-sensitive pharma products.
