Air France KLM Martinair Cargo has begun using CSafe Global’s new CSafe RAP e-container.

According to Air France KLM Martinair, it will now be able to offer these new temperature-controlled containers to its customers in the pharmaceutical industry.

“With its unmatched capabilities at extreme ambient temperature and its improved battery, this new RAP container will enable us to offer even more reliable solutions on extra-long-range shipments with best-in-class maintenance of the temperature setting,” said Fabrice Panza [left in photo], AFKLMP’s head of product and development for pharma logistics at Air France KLM Martinair Cargo. “We are excited to partner with CSafe Global in launching this innovative product, reaffirming our commitment to offering customers the very latest technology to ensure the quality of the products and services we offer.”

The CSafe RAP active ULD received approval from the Federal Aviation Administration in November 2017 and from the European Aviation Safety Agency in January 2018. It uses heating and compressor-driven cooling technology with advanced insulation to maintain constant temperatures even at extreme ambient conditions from -30°C to +54°C.

“The industry has identified lanes where efficiencies can be achieved by utilizing RAPs versus multiple RKNs,” said Sebastien Berrous [right in photo], strategic sales director and key account director for Air France KLM Martinair Cargo at CSafe Global. “The CSafe RAP offers the expanded cargo capacity (up to five Euro pallets or four US pallets) needed to accommodate larger cold-chain shipments.”
