Vienna Pharma Handling Center
Brand new for FlyPharma Vienna 2024, Vienna Airport in collaboration with FlyPharma is offering an exciting chance to see Vienna Airport in action! FlyPharma attendees are able to look behind the scenes of the Pharma Handling Center with a site tour on Day 2 of the conference (24 October) – included free with a FlyPharma conference ticket.
The Pharma Handling Center is a state-of-the-art facility that ensures safe and secure temperature-controlled transport, constantly monitored storage and handling of pharmaceutical products. Vienna Airport is the only airport in Central and Eastern Europe that has its own pharmaceutical center with complete end-to-end pharmaceutical service, i.e. also offering handling from aircraft to truck and vice versa from a single source. Other airports have cold rooms, but they store pharmaceuticals mixed with other goods. The Pharma Handling Center at Vienna Airport is GDP-compliant certified.
Equipped with the latest technology, the center is designed to maintain a constant temperature range of 2-8°C and 15-25°C, providing optimal storage conditions. Opening its doors in 2018, and with a 1,600m2 handling area, it offers the ideal solution for companies looking to ship high-value and sensitive products. With its commitment to quality, reliability, and efficiency, the Pharma Handling Center is the preferred choice for pharmaceutical companies operating in Austria and beyond.
The Vienna Airport Site Tour will commence on 24 October at 15:30.
After a few minutes’ walk from the FlyPharma conference venue, and following a security check, delegates will board the coach and will be taken to the Pharma Handling Center. They will have the opportunity to walk around inside the center, guided by the airport’s knowledgeable team.
