Pushing pharma air freight globally
Air Bridge Cargo Airlines (ABC) has completed complex transportation of 12 SkyCell containers from Hong Kong to Amsterdam, Netherlands. The project was planned in advance as the containers needed to be shipped to Asia in pre-conditioned mode.
In Hong Kong, they were loaded with vaccines to be flown back under temperature range +2 to +8°C. Weighing over 10,5 t, they occupied six lower forward deck positions and approached an almost maximum possible number of ULD per section (14).
The Swiss provider of temperature-controlled container solutions also signed a lease agreement with Qatar Airways Cargo. The airline's chief officer cargo Guillaume Halleux: "The hybrid container establishes an entirely new product offering for our clients that is both safe and sustainable for our businesses and the planet."
