Distributing vaccines in East Malaysia
In an effort to combat the Covid-19 pandemic with the vaccines, Utama Multimodal Logistics (UML), a Malaysian cold chain logistics services company focused on transporting pharmaceuticals, has chosen Teleport, the logistics venture of Air Asia Digital, to deliver vaccines arriving in Kuala Lumpur to destinations in the Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak, specifically Sandakan, Labuan, Bintulu, Miri and Sibu. These vaccines will be classified as priority shipments on all Air Asia flights.
Teleport CEO Pete Chareonwongsak: "One of our greatest achievements was delivering medical samples in just under eight hours from a clinic in Kota Kinabalu to a laboratory in Klang. We’re very pleased to work with UML; this is only the start of a long-term partnership." (ah)
