GMR Aero Cargo & Logistics introduced the country’s first airside reefer truck at Hyderabad Airport.

The airside reefer truck, with a 10-tonne payload capacity, has been specifically engineered to maintain cold-chain integrity during the critical airside movement of temperature-sensitive cargo between the cargo terminal and aircraft. This eliminates temperature exposure during ramp transfers, a persistent challenge in perishables, pharmaceutical and biological transportation.

Maintaining a temperature control range of +2°C to +25°C, the airside reefer accommodates a wide spectrum of products including pharmaceuticals, fresh fruits and vegetables, flowers, seafood, dairy products, meat, and other perishable goods requiring precise temperature control.

“By ensuring unbroken cold-chain integrity from terminal to aircraft, we are setting new standards in perishable and pharmaceutical logistics and demonstrating our dedication to supporting India’s growing role as a global pharma manufacturing and perishable hub,” Pradeep Panicker, CEO, GHIAL, said in a release.
