Avianca Cargo, part of the Abra Group, has successfully obtained Good Distribution Practices (GDP) Pharma certification. This significant achievement, following a six-month process, confirms that the airline's ground handling and air transportation services for pharmaceutical goods adhere to stringent temperature-controlled requirements. The new certification enhances Avianca Cargo's existing IATA CEIV Pharma accreditation and supports its strategic objective to expand its specialized cargo offerings.
For freight forwarders and operations managers, this certification provides increased assurance regarding the integrity and safety of pharmaceutical shipments via Avianca Cargo. It signifies a higher standard of compliance for cold chain logistics, potentially reducing risks associated with temperature excursions and product degradation. This could lead to greater confidence in using Avianca Cargo for sensitive pharma routes, particularly within and from the Americas, potentially influencing carrier selection and routing decisions for high-value, temperature-sensitive cargo.
