Singapore – Emirates SkyCargo, the freight division of Emirates, has received industry accolade for global excellence in transporting temperature sensitive pharmaceutical products. The air cargo carrier was the recipient of the DHL Carrier Award for Reliability and Excellence (DHL CARE) presented at the 17th Global Life Sciences & Healthcare Conference organised by DHL in Singapore. The award was accepted by Jeffrey Van Haeften, Emirates Vice President, Global Cargo Sales.
The DHL CARE awards were inaugurated in 2016 and recognise air cargo carriers whose services set the industry standard for the transport of temperature sensitive pharmaceutical and life sciences products. DHL evaluated air cargo carriers over a number of criteria including shipment quality, ground handling expertise and innovation in both the technology and process of shipping for the awards.
The award is an important recognition for Emirates SkyPharma - Emirates SkyCargo’s complete solution for transporting temperature sensitive pharmaceutical shipments.
Since its launch in 2016, Emirates SkyPharma has been well received by customers across the globe and this has resulted in increasing volumes of pharmaceutical shipments across Emirates SkyCargo’s global network of over 155 destinations across six continents. One of the origin points that has witnessed the strongest growth in 2017 for Emirates SkyCargo for pharma shipments has been Singapore.
“Customers are at the centre of our business at Emirates SkyCargo. Listening to our customers, understanding their requirements and delivering tailored transportation solutions that work for the pharma industry is what has helped Emirates SkyCargo grow our pharma business in Singapore,” said Noryate Abdul Rahman, Emirates Cargo Manager for Singapore.
