ABC PHARMA
PUTTING THE BUILDING BLOCKS IN PLACE TO BE A MAJOR PLAYER IN PHARMA LOGISTICS
There’s a lot being written about airline products for the transportation of pharmaceuticals. In fact, it’s now virtually impossible to open any industry publication without reading about one new service or another.
For pharmaceutical companies, however, the most important thing is not what they read but what they can measure. For the world’s leading healthcare companies, their reputation is at stake with every single shipment. In such a dynamic and heavily regulated industry that is so essential to public health and well-being,
they need partners able to demonstrate the ability to protect the integrity of their products through the cool chain.
At AirBridgeCargo Airlines (ABC), pharmaceutical business has been very much front of mind over the past year and much of its early focus has been to put in place the building blocks required to deliver a quality service.
In November, AirBridgeCargo Airlines (ABC) became the first airline in Russia and only the seventh in the world to be awarded
IATA’s Center of Excellence for Validators in Pharmaceutical Logistics (CEIV Pharma) certification for the global transportation of pharma products via its cargo hub in Sheremetyevo, Moscow. Meeting
this important industry standard is also a further milestone in the strategic partnership
between Volga-Dnepr Group and Sheremeteyevo International Airport, which is focused on long-term and mutually beneficial cooperation to develop the airport’s role as an international
‘For us, CEIV certification is the entry ticket to the market. It proves the airline is on the right track in respect of the pharma handling rules and regulations set down by IATA. For our customers it is a good sign of our intent but we also recognise that we are working in a global industry and on specific lanes there are also strict local requirements we have to meet too.’
