    The global pharmaceutical sector continues to expand, driven by the aging population, growing demand for new treatments, and advances in research and development. Since a large portion of pharmaceutical products require controlled transport to preserve their efficacy, air cargo plays a pivotal role in ensuring that medicines reach patients quickly and in optimal conditions.

      New Facilities and Expanded Network

      The increase in Constant Climate volumes has also been fueled by the opening of IAG Cargo's new Premia facility at its London Heathrow headquarters, which includes a Constant Climate Quality Center (CCQC) for pharmaceutical products. This new facility has doubled the company’s cold chain storage and handling capacity.

      Additionally, IAG Cargo has expanded the number of stations approved for transporting temperature-sensitive products, recently adding Cincinnati, Cape Town, and Strasbourg to its global network of approximately 100 stations.
