Dnata gains pharma certification at Zurich airport

Ground handler dnata has been awarded Good Distribution Practice certification for the pharmaceutical handling services at the company’s state-of-the-art facility in Zürich.

Setting stringent standards, the scheme ensures that consistent quality management systems are in place throughout the entire supply chain.

In achieving the certification, dnata has proven its capability of handling pharmaceutical products safely and reliably. In order to meet the requirements, dnata has completely refurbished one of its warehouses at Zürich airport and made significant enhancements to its quality systems, operations documentation and facilities management practices. dnata’s customer-oriented staff have been also been trained on all processes and requirements at each level of the organisation.
