Air Cargo Pharma Service of the year Award

Etihad Cargo

PharmaLife, Etihad Cargo’s award-winning pharmaceutical shipment solution, achieved a remarkable 85% year-on-year increase in 2021 with the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines representing 30% of its pharmaceutical shipments. In partnership with the HOPE Consortium, over 250 million COVID-19 vaccine doses were handed to over 40 countries. In addition, several initiatives were launched to facilitate distribution and position Abu Dhabi as a pharmaceutical and life science hub. This included establishing the first pharmaceutical distribution corridor between Abu Dhabi and Belgium. The corridor will facilitate the quick delivery of vaccines and meet future life science needs. The carrier is also working in tandem with UNICEF to transport aid globally following the signing of a five-year memorandum of understanding (MOU) to support the UN agency’s Humanitarian Airfreight Initiative.
