By introducing dedicated cool dollies at the Abu Dhabi Airport hub, Etihad Cargo aims to streamline the transfer process, reducing the time cargo spends exposed to environmental conditions.
Furthermore, these cool dollies not only regulate temperature but also provide comprehensive data records, offering Etihad Cargo enhanced visibility and control over critical control points in the transportation chain. This increased visibility enables Etihad Cargo to identify and mitigate potential risks, ensuring the integrity of cargo from origin to destination.
In summary, the introduction of cool dollies by Etihad Cargo represents a significant milestone in its commitment to providing best-in-class cool chain solutions.
