Airport Gets Temperature Controlled Truck For Air Cargo

Hyderabad: GMR Aero Cargo & Logistics on Monday announced the launch of India’s first-of-its-kind airside reefer truck at the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport at Shamshabad, which is crucial for handling temperature-controlled air cargo. The facility eliminates temperature exposure during ramp transfers — a persistent challenge in handling perishables, pharmaceuticals and biological consignments.

The airside reefer truck maintains a temperature range of +2°C to +25°C and can accommodate a wide spectrum of cargo, including pharmaceuticals, fresh fruits and vegetables, flowers, seafood, dairy products, meat and other perishables requiring precise temperature control.

With this capability, Hyderabad Airport joins a select group of global cargo hubs equipped with airside refrigerated infrastructure.

With Hyderabad emerging as a major manufacturing and perishables gateway in south India, the new facility strengthens the airport’s position as a preferred hub for temperature-controlled air cargo movement.
