“We are very proud to have received our GDP certification after having also achieved the CEIV certification recently. FCS is now able to distinguish itself from other service providers. Despite the challenges of this year, my team has been working diligently to ensure FCS is well prepared for pharma handling now and in the future. Our airline customers, as well as the manufacturers and distributors of pharmaceutical products, can plan with confidence that the quality and integrity of their shipments will be maintained throughout the whole FCS supply chain process,” says Markus Schneefuss, Director of Operations at FCS.
A subsidiary of Worldwide Flight Services (WFS), the world’s largest airfreight handling company, FCS and its GDP certification fit into the “Project Coldstream” initiative just recently launched by WFS, which focuses on coordinating worldwide transportation of large delivery quantities of vaccines to fight the COVID-19 virus. According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the industry expects these deliveries to amount to the largest volume of airfreight involving a single item ever transported.
The fact that FCS has GDP certification is highly important to Frankfurt Airport, too. With this certification, the company is making a valuable contribution to helping the site prepare optimally for the coming situation.
