For handling of pharmaceuticals, Frankfurt Airport has more than 12,000 square meters of temperature-adjustable GDP and CEIV-certified storage space right next to the apron. Temperature-controlled transportation in special vehicles is possible on the apron itself. This unique infrastructure and the extra capacity provided by specially designated pharmaceutical teams at numerous forwarding agents and cargo handlers make Frankfurt Airport Europe’s leading pharmaceutical hub.
