Swissport has earned IATA CEIV Pharma status for its Dusseldorf facility, bringing its network certified warehouses to 24 globally.
The expansion builds on the aviation services provider’s ‘Cool and Connect’ air cargo facility launched in Basel in 2024, which set the blueprint for the company’s pharma-dedicated logistics, with a focus on 2-8°C cool container infrastructure.
Swissport has recently opened dedicated pharma facilities in Manchester, New York JFK and Shanghai, aiming to cater for the shift in pharmaceutical manufacturing toward biologics and temperature-sensitive therapies.
Swissport operates 65 pharma-capable warehouses and 24 warehouses certified for pharmaceutical logistics under industry standards including the Air Transport Association’s CEIV Pharma, the British Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), and Good Distribution Practice (GDP).
