IAG Cargo has expanded its Constant Climate cold chain service by approving the use of SkyCell's 1500X series containers across its entire network. This move broadens the available options for customers in the pharmaceutical sector who need to transport temperature-sensitive products.
According to a statement from IAG Cargo, the addition of these containers provides an advanced and sustainable solution for pharmaceutical transport, ensuring the integrity of critical shipments such as vaccines and biologics.

Jordan Kohlbeck, Head of Pharmaceutical at IAG Cargo, commented that the approval of SkyCell containers "was achieved through extensive collaboration and cross-functional teamwork within our organization." He added that "the pharmaceutical industry demands innovative, sustainable solutions they can rely on, and that’s exactly what we are focused on. The addition of SkyCell enables us to offer customers access to a full suite of approved temperature-controlled packaging solutions that meet the highest of standards."
