Temperature controlled air cargo containers at RGIA

It has a capacity to hold up to 250 containers at any point of time

GMR Hyderabad Air Cargo (GHAC), a division of GMR Air Cargo and Aerospace Engineering Limited, became the first cargo terminal in India and South Asia to handle a shipment using the next generation ‘Envirotainer Releye® RLP’ air cargo containers on Thursday. GHAC is also developing a dedicated ‘Cooltainer Yard’, touted to be the country’s largest on-airport hub to store, service and manage active and passive temperature-controlled containers, with a capacity to hold up to 250 containers at any point of time. Envirotainer active heating and cooling containers are one of the preferred options for movement of highly temperature-sensitive air cargo shipments globally like pharmaceuticals and vaccines, which need to be protected from the vagaries of temperature excursions at all times throughout the supply chain, said an official spokesman.
