• Why should pharma matter for Brussels Airport: 5 reasons

• Strategy towards time and temperature sensitive cargo

• Transparency in the cold supply chain

Presentation

Pharma shippers have clear expectations with respect to quality of handling:

– Temperature control and monitoring (incl. ambient)

– GDP compliant

– ‘Confidence breach’ with airlines and handling agents at an airport

ROUTE Quality LANE choice

-Priority = direct connection-Capacity & frequency

Facilities, service and quality of hubs used:Farma mind-set (in entire logistical chain):

-Garanteed cold chain-Track&trace-Security
