CACC Cargolinx team has successfully handled the first Covid-19 vaccine shipment to arrive at Cairo International Airport onboard Emirates Sky Cargo’s aircraft on December 10. In order to safeguard the integrity of such a sensitive product, the team has been prepared to receive the vaccine shipment prior to flight arrival, which was then immediately loaded to CACC Cargolinx’ cool dollies on tarmac to ensure a seamless cool chain until its direct delivery to the consignee in a perfect condition.
CACC Cargolinx’ terminals at Cairo International Airport feature 9,000 sqm fully temperature-controlled terminals covering both import and export and both the terminals – including inspection areas – are thermally mapped and equipped by temperature loggers. The temperature- controlled storage rooms have adjustable temperature ranges and adequate freezers with a team of experts working on a 24/7-basis.
The airport also has 10 cool dollies ensuring a seamless cool chain during tarmac transportation (the cool dollies accommodate all lower deck contours including AMF & ALF). It also has licensed and regulated terminals, and a certified team by key quality and pharma certifications including CEIV Pharma (recently successfully re-validated) and Envirotainer Ground Services Award for handling life science products.
