Etihad Cargo finds Kenyan gateway into Africa
Etihad Cargo, the cargo and logistics arm of Abu Dhabi’s Etihad Aviation Group, is expanding its pharma reach into Africa with the signing of a service level agreement (SLA) with Nairobi-based Tiaca members Astral Aviation and Kenya Airways to provide reliable and cost-effective airfreight solutions across the continent.
This first pharma interline agreement ensures that Etihad Cargo partners are fully compliant with latest GDP and Iata Pharma regulations and standards and guarantees that processes, from booking to handling of such sensitive goods, are standardised.
Etihad Cargo defined the steps and responsibilities of the SLA to ease the transfer between the two airlines, boost transparency and make sure pharma specific documentation, labelling and messaging are used and shared under a precise order and form. (ah)
