Five more weekly flights between BRU and MIA
As preparations for distribution of a Covid-19 vaccine continue, Miami airport (MIA) welcomed on 1 October 2020 the launch of more all-cargo flights from Brussels (BRU), Belgium, one of Europe’s leading hubs for handling temperature-sensitive pharma products.
European Air Transport Leipzig, a wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Post DHL Group, began five weekly flights with A330-200F capable of carrying 65 t per flight. The new service follows launches by DHL Express and Amerijet, which began cargo flights between both airports in March and April.
Combined, the airlines now provide 13 weekly flights between the two pharma hubs, which were the first two airports in the world designated as pharma hub airports by Iata and have been working on expanding their shared pharma route for the past decade. (ah)
