Another Triple Seven and -80°C
China Airlines took delivery of another B777F, displaying the new corporate identity that lays a stronger emphasis on its Taiwanese origin.
Ranking among the top six cargo airlines in the world, the Skyteam Cargo member has now launched a new ultra-low temperature delivery service to take advantage of opportunities arising from Covid-19 vaccine delivery. Deliveries for cargo chilled to as low as -80°C can now be undertaken once dry ice is added.
China Airlines has been actively expanding into the modern pharmaceutical cold chain logistics market since 2013 and applied for certification by the Iata Center of Excellence for Independent Validations in Pharmaceutical Logistics (CEIV Pharma).
In April 2019, the company became the first and only airline in Taiwan to pass the rigorous certification process. (ah)
