Delta Cargo offers US same day delivery for pharma, critical cargo
DELTA Cargo has launched DASH Critical & Medical, a GPS-enabled same-day service, initially in the US market before rolling it out internationally.
The new domestic service is designed for transporting time-sensitive, small packages such as medical commodities, legal documents, machinery parts and aircraft on the ground (AOG) components. FAA Lifeguard/Medevac-designated shipments must ride as DASH Critical & Medical.
The service accepts shipments weighing less than 16 oz. Shipments up to 100 lbs per piece from companies with TSA Known Shipper status can also be accepted.
The new service provides real-time tracking and monitoring of shipments, and customers can ship items up until 45 minutes prior to scheduled flight departure, London's Air Cargo News reported.
The product is now available from ten US locations: Atlanta, Chicago, Cincinnati, Detroit, LaGuardia (New York), Los Angeles, Memphis, Minneapolis, Rochester and Seattle, with service to 89 mainland US destinations and Hawaii.
Delta Cargo's senior vice president, Gareth Joyce, said: "Through our soft launch at the end of 2016 customers made it clear that our eyes on approach to these shipments gave them great confidence and the fact that the products such as legal documents or organ transplants got to their destination quicker than if taking the product themselves."
