The new entrants comprise pharmaceutical shippers Pfizer, Johnson and Johnson and Merck Sharp & Dohme, alongside other air cargo stakeholders, namely DHL Temperature Management Solutions, Expeditors, EuroAirport Basel, 4Advice and e-CARGOWARE.
Nathan De Valck, Chairman of Pharma.Aero, commented on the rapid expansion of the organisation, in the space of just six months. “The recent addition of the three global pharmaceuticals shippers marks a significant milestone to the organisation as we will be able to collaborate closely with the pharmaceutical shippers on projects to achieve a reliable end-to-end air transport for pharmaceutical cargo.
“Together with the air cargo stakeholders, we will develop global pharmaceutical trade lanes, implement best practices and share market knowledge and expertise.”
De Valck concluded by welcoming other IATA CEIV airport communities, shippers, carriers, logistics companies and pharmaceutical stakeholders to join the Pharma.Aero alliance.
