Airworld receives GDP certification at Heathrow

Airworld Airlines Ltd. has announced it has been awarded Good Distribution Practice (GDP) certification at its cargo handling facilities at London Heathrow Airport.

The company says the certification “confirms its capability of handling and transporting pharmaceutical and medical equipment,” including COVID-19 vaccines that require compliant temperature-controlled storage and handling.

Lucia Pitelova, Airworld operations manager commented: “The GDP certification we have been granted means we have achieved the highest respective global standards recognised by the air cargo and pharmaceutical industries. All of our staff are trained and accredited and this will allow our customer airlines to grow and develop their cargo business.”

The pharmaceutical storage areas consist of a dedicated room for temperatures of +15 to +25 C with capacity for 6 PMC’s or 12 AKE’s and 22-31 euro pallets. Together with a separate chamber for +2 to +8 C with capacity for 2 PMC’s or 4 AKE’s and 18-27 euro pallets. Movement of all shipments in and out are recorded and the temperature of the chambers are monitored 24/7.
