Four new, high-tech cool dollies ensure safe transportation of temperature-sensitive goods
dnata has invested in leading-edge equipment to further enhance its pharma handling capabilities globally. The company has added four high-tech ‘cool dollies’ to its Australian cargo fleet, becoming the first air services provider to offer a fully integrated, temperature-controlled cool chain for pharma and perishable shipments in this important market.
Offering a closed, temperature-controlled system, the specialized containers will ensure safe and seamless delivery of temperature-sensitive goods, including pharmaceuticals and vaccines, between aircraft and dnata’s advanced cargo facilities.
dnata will operate two cool dollies each at Sydney Airport (SYD) and Melbourne Airport (MEL), providing maximum safety to airline partners and their customers at every stage of the handling process.
“We stay focussed on providing continual improvements that enhance the safety and security of our customers’ pharma shipments,” said Dirk Goovaerts, Regional CEO, Asia Pacific, dnata.
“dnata‘s investment will ensure Sydney Airport continues to play its central role in the nation’s air cargo network,” noted Vanessa Orth, Chief Commercial Officer, Sydney Airport.
“The product will certainly add to dnata’s existing cargo capability at Melbourne Airport which is the leading domestic and 24/7 international freight hub in Australia,” remarked Shane O’Hare, Chief of Aviation, Melbourne Airport.
dnata’s new cool dollies allow the company to take pharma handling to a new level. Providing temperature-controlled storage from -25°C up to +25°C, the specialised containers mitigate risk of temperature deviations and contamination throughout the handling process.
