Air India Cargo Operationalizes Dedicated Airside Perishable and Pharma Vault at Hyderabad Airport
The facility is positioned directly on the airside cargo apron adjacent to primary widebody aircraft parking bays. The setup establishes an unbroken thermal bridge designed to close the historical "tarmac thermal gap"—the critical exposure window when temperature-sensitive Unit Load Devices (ULDs) and cargo skids transition across open airport ramps under high subtropical ambient heat.
