Scaling Up: Air Cargo Races to Build the Cold Chain for Advanced Therapies
The growing field of advanced therapies, including cell and gene treatments, presents a significant challenge for the logistics industry. These life-saving shipments are extremely sensitive, requiring cryogenic temperatures often below -150°C and having a very short viability period. This demands a highly specialized and reliable supply chain with advanced packaging and real-time monitoring. Air cargo carriers and logistics partners are now heavily investing in technology and infrastructure to scale up these complex cold chain operations. The goal is to ensure these critical therapies can be delivered safely and efficiently to patients worldwide.
