Finnair Cargo’s investment in technology enables data-based operations planning and better temperature tracking for cargo customers. “Upgrading facilities and procedures benefits customers and consumers worldwide,” said Gabriela Hiitola, Senior VP, Finnair Cargo. She stressed on the need for appropriate facilities and procedures for temperature-controlled transport. In 2018, Finnair Cargo opened the advanced COOL cargo terminal in Helsinki, enhancing its ability to handle perishables. The terminal uses 24x7 digital temperature monitoring and has on-site experts to ensure optimal conditions. Helsinki’s airport allows perishables to be moved to aircraft stands 30 minutes before departure, maximising time in dedicated temperature zones.
