Lufthansa Cargo is one of the world's leading providers of temperature-sensitive transport, offering global availability, certified processes, and many years of expertise. Four new product features have been added to the range, providing even greater quality, speed and control.
Two powerful options are available for temperature-sensitive shipments: "Active Temp Control" provides seamless temperature control through state-of-the-art container technology and coordinated processes. Lufthansa Cargo offers one of the world's largest portfolios of special containers for this purpose. "Passive Temp Support" provides optimal protection against temperature fluctuations with infrastructure designed specifically for the product and additional protective measures, regardless of external influences. In combination with sun-reflective covers and temperature-controlled storage, sensitive goods can reach their destination safely, even without active containers.Lufthansa Cargo has many years of experience in meeting these requirements and offers tailor-made solutions. The company reliably provides stable services for temperature-sensitive shipments throughout the entire global supply chain.
This offering is complemented by a global network of 30 CEIV Pharma stations, including the hubs in Munich and Brussels, as well as six GDP-certified stations. Lufthansa Cargo ensures that temperature-controlled pharmaceutical products are reliably and optimally protected throughout the entire transport process.
Since the end of April, the new customer service, the "Pharma Control Tower," has provided greater transparency and security during transport. A team of experts monitors temperature-sensitive shipments in transit via the Lufthansa Cargo hubs in Frankfurt, Munich, and Brussels 24/7. Special thermal covers are now being used for “Passive Temp Support” shipments to provide additional protection against heat or cold during ramp handling.
With smartULD, Lufthansa Cargo is expanding its portfolio with another add-on service. It can be booked with the “Active Temp Control” product for certain container types and offers a digital solution for tracking temperature-sensitive shipments in real time. Sensors in the containers continuously record temperature data, enabling the creation of a complete temperature profile from delivery to pickup.
Lufthansa Cargo is thus emphasizing its commitment to developing quality and safety in temperature-sensitive air freight with modern technology and a clear focus on customer proximity and continuous improvement.
