CHINA CARGO AIRLINES APPROVES RELEYE PHARMA CONTAINER
June 30, 2021
China Airlines Cargo recently became the latest cargo carrier to approve the use of Envirotainer’s Releye® RLP temperature-controlled airfreight container for use on their aircrafts.
Increased demand for temperature-controlled shipments
In a statement, the carrier said following this approval, China Airlines can now transport the Releye® RLP on their full network reaching over 115 airports across the world, increasing the capacity to meet demand for temperature-controlled and fully connected ULD solutions.
The Envirotainer Releye® RLP is a LD11-sized unit with a unique air flow technology for maximum temperature stability in the cargo bay.
The RLP-size fits 3-euro pallets (or 2-US pallets) and fills a strategic gap between the larger RAP-size and the smaller RKN-size allowing for increase efficiency by mixing and matching sizes based on shipment volume.
The Releye® RLP unit uses rechargeable batteries, with a single battery charge able to power the system for over 170 hours — maintaining the pharma cargo longer, without the need of recharging. It is also enough to cover transit times and delays, if any.
"I'm happy to welcome China Airlines as carrier of our latest innovation, the new Envirotainer Releye® RLP container,” says Don Harrison, head of Global Key Accounts, Airlines at Envirotainer. "The Releye® RLP is a great addition to China Airlines Pharma 1 service offering, their premium offering for pharmaceutical products requiring the strictest temperature control active containers."
Bryan Tao, GM of Cargo Sales Managemen Department noted that with the new Releye® RLP container, China Airlines is able to offer more options to our customers for health care or sensitive product.
He added that the Releye® container sets a new standard for secure cold chain transport at a time when the biopharma industry is looking for groundbreaking solutions.
