“Qatar Airways Cargo has once again raised the bar for pharmaceutical air transport with the introduction of Pharma Passive FlexTemp – a new solution designed to tackle one of the biggest challenges in the industry: managing dual-temperature requirements within a single shipment journey,” the airline’s press release proclaims.
Dual temperature management refers to those shipments that are transported as passive pharma, in other words in “self-contained passive packaging” that ensures a certain temperature for the duration of transport, but after which a different temperature level is required to maintain product integrity. This is a tricky balance to get right, and is a niche area where no comprehensive solution has been offered until now. Because the use of self-contained passive packaging is on the rise and the pharma segment is growing, Qatar Airways Cargo focused on defining a process to solve the problem and deliver peace of mind to its customers. Pharma Passive FlexTemp is therefore an absolute premiere in the air cargo industry, as a Dual temperature management feature.
Pharma Passive FlexTemp is available as an add-on service for Pharma Passive and Pharma Critical Passive, and offers the ideal solution for the temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical and healthcare shipments requiring these differing temperatures – particularly during transit and/or when the single-use passive packaging reaches the end of its effective life cycle.
“By introducing Pharma Passive FlexTemp, Qatar Airways Cargo is setting a new benchmark for pharmaceutical handling, reinforcing its position as a leader in specialised cargo solutions. The product delivers enhanced flexibility, greater peace of mind, and improved shelf-life protection for temperature-sensitive healthcare shipments transiting through the carrier’s global network,” the airline emphasizes, going on to announce that the feature can be booked online on Qatar Airways Cargo’s Digital Lounge, together with Pharma Passive and Pharma Critical Passive, and that it applies across all FlexTemp corridors on the carrier’s network.
