Abu Dhabi Airports has joined Pharma.Aero, the global network for life science and medtech manufacturers, cargo communities and airport operators, as a strategic member representing the Middle East.
The collaboration with Pharma.Aero builds on Abu Dhabi’s growth as a global healthcare and life sciences hub, and the success of the HOPE Consortium, an Abu Dhabi-led public private partnership that is committed to working together to overcome the challenges of vaccine distribution and logistics.
Jamal Salem Al Dhaheri, managing director and chief executive officer of Abu Dhabi Airports, said the airport operator was happy to join the global cross-industry network as a strategic partner for the Middle East.
“Along with Etihad Cargo, we look forward to collaborating with industry leaders to contribute to the overall development of the pharmaceutical supply chain,” he said.
The move follows Abu Dhabi Airports’ plans to pursue major air cargo infrastructure expansion projects with a strong focus on products capable of efficiently handling time and temperature-sensitive cargo, including those from within pharmaceuticals and life science.
Trevor Caswell, chairman of Pharma.Aero, said the network looked forward to a strong, active and collaborative partnership with Abu Dhabi Airports.
