Pharma firms, dealers await launch of cargo service

Doha: Apart from air passengers, dealers in vaccines, bulk drugs, liquid syrups, insulin, and bio-technological products are eagerly awaiting the arrival of Emirates's inaugural flight EK538 from Dubai to Ahmedabad – the capital city of the Indian state of Gujarat.
Emirates's six flights a week service to Ahmedabad, effective October 29, will herald the introduction of Emirates SkyCargo’s Cool Chain Solutions to the state’s pharmaceutical industry.
From Ahmedabad, Emirates SkyCargo, the cargo arm of the Dubai-based airline, will offer over 110 tonnes of capacity per week per direction, together with its specially-designed temperature-controlled air cargo containers that maintain stable interior temperatures throughout the journey.
Featuring active temperature control systems that range from -20C to +20C, SkyCargo’s containers keep product temperature stable despite fluctuations in ambient temperatures.
