On October 1, Emirates added two daily A380 services—Dubai to Guangzhou, China, and Dubai to Moscow, Russia—joining more than 40 Emirates A380 destination cities.
   The new dailies come hard on the heels of last month’s introduction of a brand new purpose-built facility dedicated to the transport of temperature sensitive pharmaceutical shipments via Dubai World Central Airport (DWC).
   IQPC was well attended by key supply chain executives including representatives from pharmaceutical companies, suppliers and manufacturers of cool chain equipment, 3PL logistics providers and airlines.
   Early reports are that folks attending the 14th Annual Cold Chain & Temperature Logistics Global Forum from September 26-30 at Hynes Convention Center welcomed the EK cold-chain offering.
   Shippers were introduced to the the carrier’s dedicated cold-chain capabilities for Pharma, easily accessed via the carrier’s multiple U.S. gateways, including BOS, where the carrier has offered a growing menu of B777 services non-stop to Dubai since 2014.
   EK had already set some kind of record moving lobsters via its cold chain from Massachusetts to Dubai and several other destinations via its UAE gateway.
   But now it’s also about pharma, and EK says it has what it takes.
   “Pharmaceuticals are one of the most important products we transport because of the impact on people’s lives and communities across the world,” said Nabil Sultan, Emirates Divisional Senior Vice President, Cargo.
