Emirates SkyCargo has launched a suite of solutions to help maintain the freshness of perishables and fresh consumables during transportation, branded Emirates SkyFresh.
It features three service levels - Emirates SkyFresh, Emirates SkyFresh Breathe and Emirates SkyFresh Active - offering varied levels of cool chain protection for different kinds of perishables. The basic solution, Emirates SkyFresh, is geared towards temperature tolerant fruits and vegetables and offers quick ramp transportation and thermal protection through the airline’s White Cover blanket.
Emirates SkyFresh Breathe provides protection for temperature-sensitive perishables such as fresh cut flowers, ready-to-sell cut fruits and vegetables and fresh fish. Unique features include prioritised ground handling as well as the use of the Emirates SkyFresh Ventilated Cool Dolly. Emirates SkyFresh Active offers the highest protection for perishables that cannot withstand any temperature deviation, using specialised temperature controlled containers during transportation.
The Emirates SkyFresh Ventilated Cool Dolly is the airline’s latest cool chain protection product which helps preserve the freshness of perishables that require constant circulation of fresh cool air. Not only does it maintain a constant temperature while transporting cargo, it also has a ventilation system that allows it to bring in fresh air from outside. The fresh air is then cleaned using custom-built filters, cooled and then circulated inside the refrigerated interior where the temperature-sensitive perishable cargo is stored.
