IAG Cargo has opened its fifth Constant Climate station in Africa, in Cape Town, approved for temperature-sensitive healthcare products. It will handle pharmaceuticals including vaccines and medicinal components to support. And will offer connections via London Heathrow to over 100 approved stations worldwide.
IAG Cargo sees South Africa as a critical market for pharmaceutical products to meet the healthcare needs of its population, which relies on imports.
, Head of Pharmaceutical, Jordan Kohlbeck said: “Adding Cape Town to our Constant Climate is an exciting moment as it strengthens our cold chain offering, and shows our commitment to serving the pharmaceutical, bioscience and healthcare industries. For many customers this will support the increasing demand for transporting pharmaceuticals globally, specifically to the African market.”
With the opening of Cincinnati in September, Cape Town is the second Constant Climate station launched in 2023.
