An excellent year for pharma shipments by air


The growth of pharma shipments by air since 2017 and the development of premium products by airlines for temperature controlled healthcare and life science shipments, prompted Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) to make a multi-million EUR investment in pharma centres at 12 airports.

 

With the importance of health and well-being taking on greater significance for consumers since the outbreak of Covid-19, shipment volumes and the number of airlines using the new facilities have been rising month-on-month, e.g. Amsterdam (+285% in April and +134% in May), Johannesburg (+72%) and Paris CDG (pictured).

 

WFS continues to evaluate opportunities for more pharma facilities in line with customer demand. On the agenda is the further expansion of its dedicated operation in Copenhagen, due to be completed by 2022. (ah)
