Whether it is shipping vaccines, drugs or medical equipment, Air India Cargo guarantees secure and prompt delivery of your temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical products.

The Air India Advantage

Our temperature-controlled shipping solutions give Indian pharmaceutical companies the ability to safely and reliably export goods to major international markets. With an efficient cold chain service in place, we ensure timely delivery of both active and passive pharmaceutical products. Our Rapid product allows express shipment for faster delivery as we monitor the transportation of life-saving pharma with precision.

We partner with industry-leading service providers for active and passive containers for the shipment of medicines and other sensitive pharmaceutical products. Our flexible cold chain supports an end-to-end direct operation and helps transport cargo within a defined temperature range. Our active containers, in particular, are equipped with 18 integrated sensors which allow the tracking of a range of metrics essential to temperature-controlled shipments.

We provide point-to-point services between India and international destinations, reducing touchpoints. Air India Cargo’s skilled staff oversees hub handling and process improvements. Our unified cargo handling and robust coordination between cold chain partners provide reliability, visibility, and damage-free delivery.

Our major stations, including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Goa, Ahmedabad, and Hyderabad provide better cold storage and handling facilities without compromising the integrity of the pharmaceutical products. Digitisation of pharma air freight solutions leads to transparent and easy transactions for customers, with minimal paperwork.

As we are channelling a larger widebody fleet for advanced capabilities, it would enhance the handling of palletised cargo, mainly for direct routes. It will also help provide quick and seamless connectivity for long-haul transshipments.
