In all, 41 RKN CSafe containers, containing more than 30 tonnes of temperature-sensitive medicines, were securely loaded and stowed onboard main and lower decks to optimise aircraft capacity and guarantee safe delivery of the total shipment without its breakdown for different flights.
"This transportation, to some extent, is the rehearsal to check that we are well-prepared for the COVID-19 vaccine, once its testing is finalised. For the last five years, we have deepened our co-operation with providers of temperature-sensitive containers and now, in the middle of the pandemic, we are in constant dialogue with our trusted partners, Envirotainer, SkyCell, va-Q-tec, DoKaSch, CSafe, Sonoco and others regarding strategic container reserve. Last year we successfully gained our IATA CEIV Pharma re-certification, which stands as an industry commitment to be a reliable partner of cold chain and keep 100% vaccine integrity," commented Yulia Celetaria, Global Director, Pharma for AirBridgeCargo Airlines.
