Kuehne+Nagel expands Cool Corridor network

The expansion increases the network to 12 dedicated air cargo corridors connecting key pharmaceutical and healthcare hubs across Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America. The new Frankfurt–Atlanta lane will offer dedicated weekly capacity aboard Kuehne+Nagel’s Boeing 747-8 freighter Inspire . Designed for vaccines, biologics, peptides, and other temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals, the GDP-compliant corridors are intended to minimise Time Out of Range (ToR) through tightly controlled handling and transfer processes. According to the company, the dedicated transport lanes enable customers to rely on lighter passive packaging, helping reduce logistics costs and transport emissions while maintaining product integrity. The expansion forms part of Kuehne+Nagel’s strategy to further strengthen its global healthcare logistics offering in cooperation with airline and ground handling partners.
