Turkish Cargo Expanding Flight Network for Pharmaceutical Products

Turkish Airlines Chief Cargo Officer, Turhan Özen stated: "... we carry out the pharmaceutical transports from Atatürk and Istanbul Airports that have been certified by the global air cargo authorities and thus hold the IATA CEIV certificate within the cold chain integrity. While maintaining our successful Dual Hub operations, we carry out the land transports between two airports by using active temperature-controlled vehicles that hold all the necessary international certificates to preserve the cold chain integrity. ..."

Operating in 15 stations that hold the IATA CEIV (Center of Excellence for Independent Validators) certificate, Turkish Cargo also has completed the IATA CEIV Pharma certificate renewal process for Atatürk Airport and is qualified for the the same certificate for Istanbul Airport now as well. The global air cargo brand, which serves in 14 stations that hold the EU's Good Distribution Practice certificate, also carries out its pharmaceutical transport operations in 40 stations that hold QEP (Qualified Envirotainer Provider) certificate and ensures active temperature control between destinations that are thousands of kilometers far from each other.

With operations being maintained in compliance with global air cargo standards in 126 countries, Turkish Cargo continues to offer active and passive solutions for pharmaceutical and healthcare products within the temperature range of -20/+25° C.
