Executive Training for Temperature-Sensitive Air Cargo

Transporting perishable cargo requires precision, compliance, and operational discipline. From fresh produce and seafood to pharmaceuticals and biologics, temperature-sensitive shipments demand strict handling standards across the entire supply chain.

Our Perishable Cargo Transportation Training provides aviation and logistics professionals with advanced knowledge of:

Cold chain management
Air cargo temperature control
Risk mitigation
International compliance standards
CEIV Fresh alignment principles

This programme is designed for organizations that aim to strengthen operational performance and compliance in temperature-controlled logistics.

The Strategic Importance of Perishable Cargo Expertise
The global market for perishable goods transported by air continues to grow rapidly due to:

Increased pharmaceutical shipments. Expansion of global food supply chains. Demand for fresh high-value products. E-commerce growth.

However, perishable cargo presents significant risks:

Temperature excursions. Product spoilage. Regulatory non-compliance. Financial losses. Reputational damage

Professional training is essential to maintain cold chain integrity and ensure consistent quality standards.

What Is Perishable Cargo?
Perishable cargo includes goods that deteriorate rapidly when exposed to unsuitable environmental conditions.
Typical categories include:

Fresh fruits and vegetables
Meat and seafood
Dairy products
Flowers and plants
Vaccines and pharmaceuticals
Biological materials

These shipments require controlled temperature ranges, proper packaging, and time-sensitive handling.
