Transportation service for pharmaceuticals
Services and certifications supporting pharmaceutical transportation
IATA/CEIV Pharma certification
Optimized quality control system for pharmaceutical transportation
Training for all staff involved in pharmaceutical transportation
Operations designed to eliminate risks as much as possible through risk assessments
At JAL, we promise to provide the highest quality pharmaceutical transportation in the airline industry, both now and in the future, through GDP-compliant pharmaceutical-specific temperature-controlled storage and operations.
On March 28, 2023, we obtained the CEIV Pharma certification (The Center of Excellence for Independent Validators in Pharmaceutical Logistics), a quality certification system for pharmaceutical transportation established by IATA, for handling at the warehouse and ramp at Narita Airport, as well as for arrival and departure flights. This makes us the first airline in Japan to have a large dedicated temperature-controlled warehouse for pharmaceuticals.
GDP-compliant dedicated pharmaceutical truck transportation service connecting Narita Airport, Haneda Airport, and Kansai International Airport
We have started a GDP-compliant road feeder service connecting Narita Airport, Haneda Airport, and Kansai International Airport with dedicated temperature-controlled trucks for pharmaceuticals since 2023. Furthermore, from 2024, we can provide GDP-compliant handling at the warehouse and ramp at Haneda Airport, enabling a consistent cold chain transportation connecting the major passenger flight hubs of Haneda Airport, Narita Airport, and Kansai Airport.
GDP-compliant pharmaceutical handling hub airport(Pharma Station)
As a new initiative to improve the quality of pharmaceutical transportation, we are sequentially certifying airports among our domestic and international service hubs that have established GDP compliant quality management and handling systems as "Pharma Stations." We will continue to expand Pharma Stations both domestically and internationally, building a pharmaceutical transportation system that our customers can use with confidence.
