Air Canada Cargo has approved DoKaSch Temperature Solutions’ Opticooler® RKN on the airline’s widebody international flights.
The approval will enable Air Canada Cargo to strengthen its cool chain capacities for its AC °Absolute service, providing forwarders and pharma producers highly reliable active packaging solutions.
The Opticooler has also been designed for time and temperature sensitive pharmaceutics that require a precise temperature throughout a shipment’s journey.
Through Air Canada’s vast international passenger network, in addition to a fleet of dedicated freighters, Air Canada Cargo has access to over 300 cities on six continents thanks to direct flights from its widebody fleet, and hundreds more routes through interline and trucking partnerships.
Air Canada Cargo’s self-handled hubs in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Chicago, London, and Frankfurt provide optimal global connections, and allow for the continuous shipment of goods to and from anywhere in Air Canada’s network.
Matthieu Casey, managing director of commercial at Air Canada Cargo, said: “We have always been focused on a strong cool chain integrity within our network because the supply of lifesaving medicines is absolutely crucial.
“Thanks to our global network, we can provide highly reliable and quick transport to a wide variety of destinations.
