Transport of drugs by LATAM Cargo
LATAM Cargo transports drugs since the beginning of its operation, which has allowed it to gain experience in this industry. The company has a special product for the transportation of pharmaceutical goods, the PHARMA, to which substantial improvements have been made in recent years. This has allowed customers to have two options: PHARMA Passive, a specialized service to transport medicines already packed, which require different temperature ranges; and PHARMA Active, which aims to transport medicines highly sensitive to changes in temperature, so they are transported in containers that allow active control.
