WFS Paris Pharma center
Latest IATA CEIV Certifi ed
Worldwide Flight Services (WFS)
has been awarded IATA CEIV
Pharma certifi cation for its new
$10 million Pharma Centre at Paris
Charles de Gaulle Airport, for the
handling of temperature-controlled
healthcare and life science products.
Opened in September last year, the
Centre is the only dedicated facility
at the airport – the second largest air
cargo gateway in Europe – with a team
of dedicated and trained experts,
temperature-controlled warehousing,
and a transport fl eet specifi cally
adapted to guarantee pharmaceutical
shipments integrity. Nearly
30 airlines and freight forwarders
are already using the Pharma Centre,
which is forecast to handle over
8,000 tonnes of products in 2020.Hugo
Rodrigues, Vice President Cargo
France at WFS, said: “Investing in
the Pharma Centre supports WFS’
strategy to broaden our product offering
by supporting the needs of both
our airline and forwarding customers
as well as their customers, which,
in this case, are major pharmaceutical
companies that demand the highest
standards of compliance to protect
the integrity of their products.
Gaining IATA CEIV Pharma certifi -
cation so soon after opening the Centre
recognizes our intention to meet
the highest industry standards. It
also adds to Paris CDG’s reputation
as one of the world’s leading air cargo
gateways. WFS has been investing in
pharma handling centres at locations
around its global network.” In 2019,
this included the opening of other
facilities in Copenhagen, Johannesburg,
Miami and new York JFK.Located
in the heart of the airport’s
cargo area, WFS’ 2,400m² Pharma
Centre in Paris offers landside and
airside acceptance capabilities and
signifi cant temperature-controlled
storage. The dedicated operation has
its own docks and maneuvering area
for the loading and unloading of temperature
controlled pharmaceutical
shipments and incorporates: a dedicated
room for loose cargo storage at
+15 to +25°C with a capacity for 108
euro-pallets on four levels of racking,
a separate cold room for loose
cargo storage at +2 to +8°C with the
capacity to store 47 euro-pallets on
the ground, and with additional racking
also available.-a small freezing
room for loose cargo storage at -20°C
capable of handling 9 euro-pallets at
a time.-two temperature-controlled
areas for +2 to +25°C for cargo unit
load devices with a combined capacity
to store 53 P2P or 106 AKE pallets.
New technologies used in the
facility include digital systems to
improve operational effi ciency and
shipment visibility. The warehouse
management system (WMS) supports
the use of barcode scanning for
real-time storage capacity monitoring
and management, ensuring constant
tracking of shipments from the
Pharma Centre to and from aircraft,
with time and date statements available
on demand. A temperature monitoring
solution with a Cloud platform
also collects temperature and
humidity data in real-time via sensors
and enables this information to
be accessed on mobile devices. Pulse,
WFS’ cloud-based global platform for
incident and inspection management
has also been successfully deployed.
With its mobile application functionality
Pulse enables real-time reporting
of non-conformities and access
to live dashboards. New functionalities
are being developed to generate
immediate automated reports for
customers. The WFS Pharma Centre
is served by a fl eet of exclusively-designed
temperature-controlled threepallet
