The Life Sciences and Healthcare portfolio adds the solutions, Emirates Vital and Emirates Medical Devices, which have been developed in consultation with customers.
Emirates Vital is for transporting clinical trials, human organs and tissues, cell and gene therapy with the control tower team monitoring every shipment to ensure they are delivered as promised.
Connection times in Dubai will be sped up for transit shipments of under 4 hours by utilising the bulk hold of aircraft and dedicated vans on the ramp to move shipments between connecting flights.
Emirates Medical Devices supports the movement of equipment, transporting products including ventilators, test kits, x-ray machines and MRIs, moving cargo in compliance with Medical Device Regulations and Good Distribution Practices.
Nabil Sultan, Divisional Senior Vice President of Emirates SkyCargo, says, “By listening to our customers, we saw an opportunity to support the global health industry’s advances in personalised patient treatments and meet the growing need for priority services in air cargo logistics to move sensitive materials and equipment – for instance those used in the research of sophisticated therapies like gene editing and cell therapy.
“We are on a mission to help the world work better – not only for our customers, but also for their end customers - individual patients. By expanding our product range and ensuring these solutions are purpose built and future-fit, we aim to ship more vital treatments and supplies to benefit more lives around the world.”
