Frozen & temperature-controlled air cargo

Air freight is built for speed, but cold-chain cargo also requires stable handling at every checkpoint: origin pickup, airport processing, flight connections, and final delivery.

Cold-chain continuity comes first

Frozen and temperature-sensitive air cargo is typically chosen for time-critical shipments such as frozen food, seafood, pharmaceuticals, and other commodities that require short lead time.

Unlike ocean reefer containers, air cold-chain relies heavily on packaging (passive systems) or specialized equipment (active systems), combined with airport cold storage and fast ground handling to reduce exposure outside target ranges.

ACI LOGISTICS helps select the best approach based on commodity profile, transit time, airline requirements, and origin/destination airport conditions, while monitoring milestones to prevent temperature excursions.

Cold-chain cargo often faces risk at handover points: cut-off queues, screening, warehouse waiting time, flight delays, and transshipment. A solid plan focuses on correct packaging, clear milestones, and contingency options when schedules shift.

"The goal is to minimize time outside target temperature and react early to exceptions."
