AirBridgeCargo helps with UNICEF vaccine delivery

AirBridgeCargo Airlines has delivered yellow fever vaccines from Moscow's Sheremetyevo International airport to Frankfurt, prior to further trucking to Liège.

A 36 tonne UNICEF shipment transportation was organised in partnership with ABC's long-standing customer, DSV, which prepared over 1,000 special boxes to guarantee the safe and intact delivery of sophisticated medicines. A complex delivery, which embraced several stakeholders, will be part of the immunisation programme in Africa.

"For the last five years, we have deepened our expertise in the transportation of healthcare products, with vaccines being of paramount importance to prolong the life of the world’s population and facilitate well-timed vaccination, especially for children. While yellow fever still stays a very common disease in Africa and South America, we are honoured to be part of the cold chain to prevent its further spread and support routine immunisation programmes of the local population," said Nikolay Glushnev, General Director, AirBridgeCargo Airlines.

"DSV Russia focuses on the arrangement and securing of an uninterrupted supply of vaccines for UNICEF and other vital supplies for people in need. ABC is the leader in pharma transportation and one of our reliable carriers, which is always trusted by us and which has accomplished this important mission," added Ivan Shevchenko, Airfreight Manager Air & Sea, DSV.
