Azerbaijani all-cargo carrier Silk Way West Airlines has been awarded Good Distribution Practice (GDP) certification, complementing the company’s capacity in reliably handling time- and temperature-sensitive cargo.
This certification also comes at a crucial time when the airline is aiming to strengthen and expand its offerings in the transportation of medical goods and pharmaceutical logistics services.
“Obtaining the GDP certification proves the readiness of Silk Way West Airlines in taking a leading role in global distribution of medical supplies,” said Wolfgang Meier, CEO and President of Silk Way West Airlines, emphasising the importance of this achievement in entering the pharmaceutical logistics market.
According to Aydin Huseynov, Silk Way West Airlines’ Vice President for Global Cargo Logistics & Standards, GDP certification is an important step in upgrading the airline’s carriage capabilities for all pharmaceutical products, as well as ensuring that the required storage services are in place.
“We believe that these efforts focussed on ensuring the highest standards in logistics will take the company to the next level in management of time- and temperature-sensitive goods,” said Huseynov.
