Japanese carrier joins Pharma.Aero
Four years after becoming the first Japanese airline to be Iata CEIV Pharma certified, ANA Cargo is now the first Japanese airline to join Pharma.Aero, a non-profit organisation that works to improve end-to-end air transportation for pharmaceuticals and other critical health and medical resources.
Toshiaki Toyama, EVP of ANA and president of ANA Cargo: "Our membership in Pharma.Aero will help us build on our experience in transporting medical supplies and better respond to the increased demand for the delivery of medical supplies."
In response to the pandemic, ANA contributed to the transportation of Covid-19 vaccines to Japan and most recently cooperated in the transportation of Covid-19 vaccines to Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Laos.
