Sheremetyevo International Airport temperature-controlled infrastructure will
be enhanced at ‘Cargo complex Sheremetyevo’ in support of AirBridgeCargo
Airlines’ (ABC) new Boeing 747F services from Basel in Switzerland, the home of
many world’s leading life sciences organisations.
The
new developments, effective from this month, are designed to ensure the airport
maintains the integrity of temperature-controlled pharmaceutical products
throughout the ground handling process.
Dmitry
Sudosiev, Commercial Director of ‘Cargo complex Sheremetyevo’, said: “Our cargo
terminal is a major hub for AirBridgeCargo Airlines. The sensitive nature of
pharmaceutical products requires the airline to ensure the maintenance of the
correct temperature regime throughout the transportation process in order to
meet its customers’ strict requirements. As ‘Cargo complex Sheremetyevo’
provides an important part of this process on the ground, we also have a
critical role to play to ensure the protection and continuity of the cold chain
ABC has promised to its customers.”
‘Cargo
complex Sheremetyevo’ has put in place refrigerated vehicles and a 580m²
pharmaceutical warehouse to handle temperature-controlled products, including a
unique laboratory to complete the obligatory procedures required to certify
pharmaceutical products for importation into Russia. As well as maintaining the
cold chain and supporting all regulatory requirements, this enhancement of the
cargo terminal’s capability speeds up the delivery of goods to the consignee.
The airport has worked

capabilities.
“For over 20 years, ‘Cargo
