Airport Selection: Critical Nodes in the Cold Chain

Not all airports are created equal when it comes to pharmaceutical handling. The best airports offer temperature-controlled storage, fast transit processes, and specialized teams trained in handling sensitive products. Selecting airports with IATA CEIV Pharma certification or similar standards is a strong indicator of reliability.

Despite these safeguards, there are risks during tarmac handling, loading, or unexpected delays. Thermal packaging acts as a protective barrier, shielding products from temperature extremes while maintaining a stable internal environment. Advanced insulation and phase change materials extend protection when external conditions fluctuate.

Strategic airport selection paired with robust packaging solutions ensures that sensitive shipments are protected throughout their journey. Working with logistics experts helps identify the most suitable hubs for your operations.
