Vaccines from Belgium
Since the end of November, flights to more than 40 destinations have been carried out to distribute Pfizer-BioNTech’s Covid-19 vaccine from Belgium. This includes shipments via DHL Express and on commercial flights from partners such as Singapore Airlines, Qatar Airways, Emirates, El Al, Virgin Atlantic and United Airlines. As a leading hub serving the pharmaceutical industry in Europe, Brussels airport has fully deployed its expertise in the transport of temperature-sensitive pharma products to support manufacturers in the transport of the vaccines.
Danny Hendrikse, VP of intercompany operations, Pfizer: "The airport team and the Brucargo community ensured a high-quality approach to handling the vaccine, as well as to the expected upscaling of transport needs via the airport over coming months." (ah)
