Refrigerated transport by plane

Properly refrigerated air transport of medical supplies (such as blood samples), flowers, fish and food is challenging. This is because the temperature at the point of departure, at the location and during the journey can vary greatly. For example, it can be 15 degrees Celsius in the Netherlands at the time of transport, the temperature in the cargo hold is generally around 5 degrees, and the temperature at a destination such as Dubai can suddenly soar when leaving the plane. Especially if the goods are parked in the sun. This is where the conditioning of your refrigerated transport must be designed for.

  • Airline Cold Chain Solutions: Most airlines offer high-quality refrigeration solutions with a corresponding price. Here, your cargo is refrigerated by the airline. The value of the goods to be transported determines whether this is a viable cold chain air transport solution for you.
  • Dry ice: If goods need to be transported frozen, dry ice is the most commonly used solution. Main disadvantage of dry ice is that there is a limit per flight
