THE cargo handling division of International
Airlines Group, IAG Cargo, has inaugurated a new pharmaceutical centre
in Madrid dedicated to its constant climate product for transporting time and
temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical products.
Work on the new facility began in June 2018 and is the
latest addition to IAG Cargo's Madrid hub, which handles over 250,000 tonnes of
cargo per year, reports AJOT.
With two dedicated
temperature-controlled chambers totalling over 900 square metres, the Good
Distribution Practice (GDP) certified facility will allow IAG Cargo to
increase the volumes of temperature sensitive pharmaceutical products passing
through its Madrid hub, primarily serving the growing Latin American pharmaceuticals
market, projected to increase by 9 per cent per year until 2028.
The new centre is operated by an
expert team, with shipments loaded onto dedicated airside docks and served by a
specialist fleet of refrigerated trucks in order to protect the pharmaceuticals
from the cargo terminal to loading onto aircraft.
Constant climate is IAG Cargo's
state-of-the-art cold chain product, specially designed for precision
management of time and temperature sensitive pharmaceutical products. Trusted
by the world's largest pharmaceutical manufacturers, the service is managed via
a dedicated team who handle bookings, advise on packaging solutions and ensure
shipments meet the strictest of regulatory standards.
Camilo Garcia, director of Sales, Marketing and Products
at IAG Cargo, said: "The
opening of this new constant climate centre reflects our continued investment
in our infrastructure and operations. Constant climate was the first
pharma-only product to the market and last year we shipped over 25,000 tonnes
of life-saving medicines and vaccines.
"Good Distribution Practice
(GDP) is a critical focus for our Constant climate product as it ensures
delivery of medicine to the end-patient in a pure, potent and stable
condition."
