Emirates SkyCargo is expanding its temperature-sensitive pharma and vaccine handling capabilities in Dubai with the extension of its fully automated cool room at its EU GDP-certified dedicated pharma facility at Dubai International Airport.
The expansion will provide an additional 2,600 square meters of the temperature-controlled environment (35-77 degrees Fahrenheit / 2-25 degrees Celsius) for the storage and handling of vaccines and other pharmaceuticals, add 94 cool room pallet positions to existing EU GDP compliant infrastructure at Dubai International Airport, and hold an estimated 60-90 million additional doses of COVID-19 vaccines at one time.
“Emirates SkyCargo is proud to have flown over 350 tonnes of COVID-19 vaccines around the world, delivering much needed support to communities that are still heavily impacted by the current wave of the pandemic. However, we are always looking ahead and we anticipate that there will be an increase in demand to transport vaccines to developing nations during the second half of the year. Already, we have seen a ramping up of COVID-19 vaccine volumes that were transported over the last few weeks in line with increased manufacturing. We expect to reach the 100 million doses milestone well before the end of this month,” said Nabil Sultan, Emirates Divisional Senior Vice President, Cargo.
