Etihad Cargo, the logistics and cargo division of Etihad Airways, will participate in LogiPharma 2025, taking place from 8–10 April at the Centre de Congrès de Lyon, France. As a key player in pharmaceutical airfreight, Etihad Cargo will be present at booths 84 and 85 alongside strategic partners — Abu Dhabi’s Department of Health (DoH) and RAFED — in support of Abu Dhabi’s ambition to become a global hub for pharmaceutical and life sciences distribution.
“Abu Dhabi’s strategic location at the crossroads of global trade, particularly the MENA region, enables us to offer world-class infrastructure and seamless access to regional and international markets,” said Stanislas Brun, Chief Cargo Officer at Etihad Cargo. “Beyond just airfreight, we’re committed to building a smarter, more agile cold chain. By partnering with regulators, manufacturers, and supply chain players, we’re creating a robust, end-to-end temperature-controlled ecosystem for pharma customers worldwide.”
Etihad Cargo’s collaboration with the Department of Health and RAFED — the UAE’s leading healthcare procurement and logistics platform — aligns with the Abu Dhabi Economic Vision 2030. This partnership is a strategic milestone in the emirate’s journey to become a top-tier healthcare and life sciences destination on the global stage.
Faisal Haji, Division Director of the Health Sector Innovation Department at the Department of Health – Abu Dhabi, commented:
“By joining forces with Etihad Cargo and RAFED at LogiPharma 2025, we’re reinforcing our commitment to advancing the region’s healthcare capabilities. Our goal is to foster an ecosystem that delivers cutting-edge treatments and medical innovations, ultimately enhancing patient care across the region.”
Samer Al Zamil, Chief Commercial Officer at RAFED, added:
“Together with Etihad Cargo and the Department of Health, we’re developing a trusted, efficient healthcare supply chain that supports not only the UAE, but also the wider regional and global healthcare community. LogiPharma offers an ideal platform to demonstrate the impact of strong public-private collaboration.”
Etihad Cargo will also highlight its PharmaLife product — an IATA CEIV Pharma-certified solution designed for the safe, reliable transport of temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and biologics. Featuring advanced thermal mapping, real-time monitoring, and tracking capabilities, PharmaLife ensures end-to-end integrity in the cold chain.
