Corridor 1.0
Project Purpose
Pharma shippers typically lack visibility in the handling standards applied and the associated risk of excursions. They have identified the following challenges: quality standards along supply chain, seamless temperature-controlled handling, visibility and traceability.
Project Objective(s)
The major goal of this project is to provide the best assurance in handling quality to pharmaceutical shippers by connecting airports with CEIV Pharma certified airlines and cargo handling communities.
Project Status And Key-takeaways
Project ongoing, following the steps:
-
Work Package 1: Host and exclusive webinar for the members of both organisations (Pharma.Aero and HLA) on June 15, 2021, followed by a survey. The results of the survey and insights gathered amongst the presenters, the attendees and the project group were outlined in a White Paper. This first report examined the competitive positioning of UAV against other transportation modes, the regulatory framework for drone operations and applications of UAV in the Pharma and Humanitarian Air Cargo sector.
-
Work Package 2: Create a 360° interactive video to showcase drone lab technologies, different types of drones and drone operations. This video is now available for Pharma.Aero members only.
-
Work Package 3: Map the journey of the Covid-19 vaccines from the manufacture point in Europe to the arm of the patient in Malawi. Draft a list of recommendations on how to optimize the end-to-end transportation by shortening the supply chain and linking both traditional airfreight and drone worlds. Disseminate a theoretical proof of concept (technical report and white paper). See here the video of the Vaccines transportation from Belgium to Malawi.
