Consolidating cool shipments


Swissport Basel opened its new "Cool + Connect" terminal on 27 June 2024. The facility is designed to ensure the integrity of pharmaceutical and temperature-sensitive goods (2-8°C) throughout the loading process.

 

By consolidating shipments from the same suppliers in a single truck instead of several as before, CO2 emissions and handling times are reduced by around 70% (from 4.5 to 1.5 hours), as transportation outside the airport is no longer necessary.

 

“‘Cool + Connect’ is the first of its kind and we are proud to offer this innovation to our customers at EuroAirport,” says Andreas Behnke, station manager Basel, and member of the Swissport global cargo committee.

 

“The cool chain infrastructure for pharmaceutical centres with many refrigerated containers meets a global need in the logistics industry. Swissport offers a proven, standardised terminal for airlines, logistics providers and airports to outsource business-critical operations." Swissport plans to introduce the "Cool + Connect" infrastructure worldwide. (cj)
