Turkish Cargo is raising the bar for the quality of pharmaceutical and medical product transportation with the introduction of three new services: TK Pharma Standard, TK Pharma Extra, and TK Pharma Advanced. Aimed at serving the burgeoning market for air transport of pharmaceutical and medical products, these new offerings promise to enhance quality standards significantly. Ali Türk, Chief Cargo Officer at Turkish Airlines, expressed his satisfaction with the Turkish company's achievement of a 7% market share in this sector. He emphasized the enhanced guarantees, transparency, and improved quality that these new services will provide to their commercial partners.
TK Pharma Standard delivers high load priority, temperature-controlled storage, a dedicated operational team, and 24/7 customer service across the TK Pharma network. For products requiring stricter temperature and time controls, Turkish Cargo introduces TK Pharma Extra, employing passive packaging methods and providing greater protection during transport. Shipments are continuously monitored by the Pharma Control Tower and the service, available only at TK Cargo Pharma-approved stations, utilizes temperature-controlled trolleys.
For even more demanding needs, TK Pharma Advanced offers active or advanced passive/hybrid temperature-controlled containers, allowing for the transport of goods at fixed temperatures ranging from -70°C to +30°C. A team of experts not only oversees the transport process but also offers advice on selecting and renting the most suitable containers.
The company's hub at Istanbul Airport features the Smartist TCC (Temperature Controlled Center), which includes specialized storage facilities at four different temperatures. Additionally, Turkish Cargo boasts an automated ULD warehouse for pharmaceutical shipments, equipped with the latest technologies, including automated storage systems and robotic process automation.
