With its latest Constant Climate station addition at Kuala Lumpur International Airport, IAG Cargo now operates a total of 13 such approved stations across the Asia-Pacific region, and around 100 cutting-edge pharma stations around the world. Its Constant Climate product is designed around the specific requirements of pharmaceuticals, such as vaccines, biotech products, and diagnostic samples, along with other temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical materials. The Kuala Lumpur station is GDP-certified and equipped to handle both active and passive temperature-controlled shipments. In continuously building up a quality-secured network of facilities capable of handling the increasing volumes of high-value time and temperature-sensitive shipments, IAG Cargo is maintaining its competitiveness as well as proving its reliability in offering quick, secure and commodity-specific transport. The airline operates daily flights between Kuala Lumpur and London Heathrow, opening up pharma shipping opportunities also for MASkargo out of London, for which it provides third-party handling, in line with the Global Cargo Joint Business agreement it holds with Qatar Airways Cargo and MASkargo, to offer one of the world’s largest combined air cargo networks.
Jordan Kohlbeck, Head of Pharmaceutical at IAG Cargo, said: “Adding Kuala Lumpur to our Constant Climate network further enhances IAG Cargo’s presence in Southeast Asia, strengthening both our origin and destination capabilities for pharmaceutical and healthcare shipments. It expands our regional coverage and offers customers greater flexibility when moving temperature-sensitive goods across the globe. With around 100 approved Constant Climate stations worldwide, and our state-of-the-art New Premia facility at our London Heathrow headquarters, IAG Cargo is ideally positioned to manage high-value, time- and temperature-sensitive shipments quickly and securely. This expansion reflects the growing demand for reliable cold chain solutions, driven by ongoing innovation in life sciences and the increasing need for fast, temperature-controlled transport of biologics, cell and gene therapies, and personalised medicines – all of which rely on the speed and precision that air cargo uniquely provides. The daily Kuala Lumpur-London Heathrow schedule has been optimized to enhance service quality and reliability. An early morning arrival into London Heathrow enables same-day connections to a number of key Constant Climate stations across the IAG Cargo network – helping ensure faster, more secure delivery of pharmaceutical shipments worldwide.”
