Emirates SkyCargo, a subsidiary of Emirates Group, has said that one of the challenges faced by the company is freighting pharmaceuticals across the world because of the delicateness of the products and the certifications needed for approval to airlift such cargo.
Currently, Emirates SkyCargo transports over two million kilogrammes of pharmaceutical cargo weekly, established 44 pharma corridors, which has prompted the airline to invest over $200 million on equipment and facilities to ensure pharmaceutical cargo gets premium priority and gets to their destinations timely and without damage.
