AirbridgeCargoAirlines (ABC) has celebrated its 500^th RAP container shipment from Milan, Italy.

In the first 10 months of 2021, ABC surpassed 500 active cooling container shipments, with flights to destinations including China, Japan and Singapore aboard over 50 charter and scheduled Boeing 747F flights.

Volga-Dnepr Group’s global healthcare director Yulia Celetaria said: “MXP is one of the stations that has always gone the extra mile to deliver the results. Thanks to the support and forward-thinking approach of MXP airport, our long-standing ground handler, ALHA, we are able to pin Milano on our map of pharma corridors.

“Active containers are not easy to handle given their recharging process, ramp operations and loading procedures, but together we make it happen and support our customers offering more cargo-friendly solutions to keep uninterrupted supply chains flow.”

ABC Italy has shipped over 1,000 active containers around the world in 2021 as part of its ‘life-saving’ operations.
