The cargo operation of Delta Air Lines has expanded its room-temperature pharmaceutical transport service, known as Pharma 4, to eight additional destinations, including Bogota, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, Sydney, Sao Paolo, Frankfurt and Seoul.
With this expansion, Delta Cargo now has 49 pharma stations worldwide, in addition to nine approved facilities in Europe that it operates with its partner airlines.
Pharma 4, which is one of four temperature-sensitive shipping options that Delta offers, is for products that require room temperature during shipping, such as prescription drugs and some biotechnology products.
Last July, Delta became the first U.S. airline to receive the International Air Transport Association’s CEIV Pharma logistics certification.
