Cool handling: Competence centre for pharmaceutical cargo at Vienna Airport
Thanks to the Vienna Airport Pharma Handling Center (VPHC), the airport operates its own competence centre for handling temperature-sensitive air freight. This enables pharmaceutical shipments to reach their global destinations via the air cargo hub of Vienna in addition to general air cargo. Leading cargo airlines such as Lufthansa Cargo, Emirates Cargo, Eva Air Cargo, Korean Air Cargo, Asiana, Cargolux, Turkish Cargo, Qatar Airways Cargo and Silk Way West Airlines link the airport with all important international markets. At the same time, shipments from all continents arrive in Vienna, where they are securely, quickly and reliably distributed throughout Central and Eastern Europe.
About Vienna Airport as a cargo hub
Thanks to its geographically favourable location in Europe, Vienna has positioned itself as an important global cargo hub for Central and Eastern Europe. Vienna Airport is used by leading cargo airlines, especially for intercontinental transport. The airport offers rapid transshipment times based on its 24/7 operational readiness. Ten Category F aircraft parking positions (Boeing 747, Antonov 124) near the terminal buildings are available for air cargo. Vienna Airport is firmly anchored in the European network of air cargo road feeder services. The most important consumer and business centres in Central and Eastern Europe are accessed within 24 or 48 hours. Flughafen Wien AG, which is publicly traded on the Vienna Stock Exchange, is one of the biggest employers in the region, featuring a workforce of more than 5,400 people.
