Air Canada and WFS against Covid-19


Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) and Air Canada are working closely with the Canadian government to transport vial caps for doses of the Covid-19 vaccine to support the country’s immunisation programme. Since December 2020, thousands of innovative plastic "RayDyLyo vial caps" weighing over 20 t have so far been transported on the cargo handler's GDP-certified pharma trucks from Lyon to its EUR10 million Pharma Centre at Paris CDG.

 

In Paris, WFS’ team of pharma specialists then uses temperature-controlled pallets, containers, dollies and trailers to load the shipments onboard Air Canada flights to Montreal. Once in Canada, the all-plastic push-fit caps are retrieved by the Public Health Agency of Canada, which uses them in the manufacture and capping of vaccines for the local population. (ah)
