Worldwide Flight Services’ Pharma Centre at Paris Charles de Gaulle airport has been awarded Good Distribution Practice certification.
This reinforces the handler's credentials in supporting global air cargo shipments of COVID-19 vaccines and other pharmaceutical and medical equipment loads requiring compliant temperature-controlled storage and handling.
At the start of 2020 the Centre, part of a multi-million euro investment by WFS in global pharmaceutical handling facilities, also achieved IATA's CEIV Pharma certification.
The GDP audit and certification process by independent auditing specialists TÜV confirmed the facility’s temperature management capabilities and assessed and approved WFS’ pharma policy, including its internal auditing procedures, risk assessment and corrective/preventive measures, as well as its critical supplier list.
