Cool handling: Competence Center for Pharmaceutical Cargo at Vienna Airport
Thanks to the Vienna Airport Pharma Handling Center (VPHC), the airport operates its own competence centre for handling temperature-sensitive air freight. This enables pharmaceutical shipments to reach their global destinations via the air cargo hub of Vienna in addition to general air cargo.
Leading cargo airlines such as Lufthansa Cargo, Emirates Cargo, Eva Air Cargo, Korean Air Cargo, Asiana, Cargolux, Turkish Cargo, Qatar Airways Cargo and Silk Way West Airlines link the airport with all important international markets. At the same time, shipments from all continents arrive in Vienna, where they are securely, quickly and reliably distributed throughout Central and Eastern Europe.
