In a release on the expansion of Etihad's network, special focus was on the export cargo capacity offered in the Danish market.
-Etihad Cargo is pleased to introduce cargo capacity out of Copenhagen. Denmark is home to a number of major international pharmaceutical companies, and the country has become an established biotech and pharma hub in Europe.
-Via Etihad Cargo’s IATA CEIV Pharma-certified product, PharmaLife, the carrier will provide the reliable and robust transportation of Denmark’s packaged medicaments to markets around the world, said Martin Drew, Etihad Airways Snr VP – Global Sales & Cargo.
Now, Etihad Cargo has launched Pharma Champions, a development program to enhance pharmaceutical transportation expertise and customer service.
Developed as a strategic initiative, Pharma Champions is aligned with Etihad Cargo's long-term plans and the implementation of the carrier's cool chain master plan, launched in 2020 to form the foundation of Etihad Cargo's shared vision with Abu Dhabi to further establish the emirate as a global pharmaceutical and life sciences hub.
Denmark ranks #11 and Sweden #13 among the largest pharma exporting countries. The Medicon Valley cluster, within two hours' drive from Copenhagen Airport, has an export share of almost six percent of global pharma.
