Swissport opens Basel pharma facility

[ June 27, 2024   //   ]

Handling company Swissport has inaugurated a Cool+connect terminal for temperature-sensitive goods at EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse. It ensures the integrity of pharmaceutical and temperature-sensitive goods (2-8°C) throughout the loading process and, by consolidating shipments from the same suppliers in a single truck, CO2 emissions and handling time are reduced from 4½ to 1½  hours), as transportation outside the airport is no longer necessary.

Swissport plans to introduce similar Cool+connect infrastructure worldwide  as well as expanding its network of IATA CEIV Pharma-certified cargo and is actively pursuing certification for major pharmaceutical centers at Miami International Airport and Chicago O’Hare International Airport.
