The new Constant Climate Centre handles and stores IAG Cargo’s Passive and Active Constant Climate products. It includes two temperature controlled zones – the first maintained at 2-8˚C and the second maintained at 15-25˚C – and accommodates 28 intact pallet positions or 56 AKE loading units.
“This new facility underpins just how important the pharmaceutical market is to IAG Cargo’s growth strategy,” said Steve Gunning, IAG Cargo’s managing director. “The Heathrow Constant Climate Centre lies at the heart of one of the largest temperature-controlled cargo networks in the world, and will be a huge benefit to global pharmaceutical companies as they look for efficient routes to market.”
IAG Cargo’s network covers more than 350 destinations worldwide and the company has one of the world’s largest fleet of wide-bodied planes which can carry sizable cargo loads. There are more than 80 Constant Climate stations across the globe, with the most recent additions including Lisbon and Latin America.
IAG’s Constant Climate service ensures temperature sensitive shipments maintain a stable internal temperature regardless of changes in the ambient temperature. IAG Cargo says the service supports temperatures from -20˚C to +25˚C, protecting the integrity and quality of pharmaceutical products.
