"Miami International Airport, already a major hub for pharmaceutical imports and exports, is the first U.S. airport to partner with the International Air Transport Association’s global certification program for handling and shipping pharmaceutical products.

To avoid spoilage of sensitive pharmaceutical products and boost international trade, IATA, the international airline trade association representing about 260 air carriers, is providing assessment and training in cold-chain pharmaceutical transportation to certify participants in MIA’s air cargo supply chain, including air cargo carriers, logistics companies, truckers, freight forwarders and warehouses."
