Europe's leading PharmaHub expands global partnerships through Pharma.Aero membership to strengthen pharmaceutical supply chain reliability
Frankfurt Airport has joined cross-industry collaboration platform, Pharma.Aero to help strengthen end-to-end supply chains for life-saving healthcare products.
Pharma.Aero’s membership base spans Life Sciences and MedTech manufacturers, airports, airlines, freight forwarders, ground handlers, and technology providers, all collaborating to accelerate innovation, develop best practices, and address emerging challenges in the transportation of healthcare products.
“As Europe’s leading PharmaHub, Frankfurt Airport offers comprehensive expertise and optimal infrastructure to address the industry’s most complex challenges. Through our partnership with Pharma.Aero, we are strengthening global collaboration to ensure high quality handling and maximum reliability for pharmaceutical products," said Denis de Farias Duarte, vice president cargo development, Fraport.
Frank Van Gelder, secretary general of Pharma.Aero, commented: “We’re truly excited to welcome Fraport into the Pharma.Aero community. Over the past years, our leadership and members have worked hand-in-hand to grow this ecosystem, strengthening our collective impact across the global healthcare and pharma logistics landscape.
"At Pharma.Aero, connecting the dots is what we do every single day, bringing together the people, insights, and expertise that move our industry forward. And we can only represent our sector meaningfully on the world stage when strong, international partners stand alongside us.
"That’s why having one of the key global players in air-cargo pharma logistics join our platform feels so energising. It reaffirms who we are as a community: a place where collaboration, innovation, and real industry content come together to create lasting value.”
Last year, Pharma.Aero launched a new sustainability index to help air cargo companies involved in the transport of pharmaceuticals improve their environmental impact.
