Air Canada Cargo has certified Dokasch Temperature Solutions' Opticooler RKN for use on its aircraft.
The Opticooler is a temperature-controlled active packaging solution and comes in two sizes: the RAP containers, also certified by the airline, hold up to five euro-pallets, while the smaller RKN version provides space for one pallet.
Certification means that the airline's customers will now be able to use the containers on its passenger and freighter network, which covers 300 cities on six continents.
“We have always been focused on a strong cool chain integrity within our network because the supply of lifesaving medicines is absolutely crucial. The Opticoolers provided by DoKaSch Temperature Solutions meet our high standards and will help support our extensive cool chain network in the Americas and beyond,” said Matthieu Casey, managing director, commercial at Air Canada Cargo.
Andreas Seitz, managing director of DoKaSch Temperature Solutions, added: “This is not only another important step for our growth in the region. This also means that even more pharmaceutical shippers can now rely on our reliable Opticooler."
The Opticooler containers are battery-powered keep the temperatures of pharmaceutical products in an internal range of between two and 30 degrees Celsius.
