GMR Aero Cargo & Logistics has recently launched India’s first-of-its-kind airside reefer truck at Hyderabad Airport, marking a transformative milestone in temperature-controlled cargo operations.
The airside reefer truck 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.
Commenting on the development, Sanjiv Edward, CEO – GMR Aero Cargo & Logistics, said, “This initiative represents a pioneering effort in Hyderabad, and delivering the best customised solutions for customers remains our priority across all our Airports.”
This infrastructure enhancement delivers multiple operational advantages that directly benefit cargo customers and airline partners. By reducing temperature excursions and product risk, this addresses the primary concern for perishable, pharmaceutical and life-science shippers.
This capability ensures that temperature fluctuations are minimised and product degradation is significantly reduced.
