December 18, 2019: Senior director and head of business development, Swiss World Cargo, Andres L Perez was talking in an event for the Mumbai pharma forwarders at the newly opened Pharma Excellence Centre at Cargo Service Center Export Cold Zone, Mumbai Airport last week.
“Only 20 percent of the total cargo that we carry is served to Zurich or Switzerland and for the rest 80 percent, our hub in Zurich Airport is a point from where it is flown to other parts of the world including the United States.
Mumbai is an important cargo hub for Swiss World Cargo, as it has become the pharmacy of the world and the pharma exports continued to increase,” said Andres.
“With all the statistics coming in favour, we foresee a future with tremendous pharma exports from Mumbai and increased shipments to the United States in particular.
The Airbus A330-300 flying between Zurich and Washington DC from March 29, 2019, will be good news from Indian pharma industry as Swiss will be offering more belly space to the US in particular,” he added.
Talking about new personalized medicines he said, “When a radioactive material to be used in manufacturing a medicine is transported from Italy to New York for a patient in the US, there is a need of timely movement, real-time data shared, kept under the right temperature and provide security because it is more about emotion and trust attached to it.”
If you have a plan of travelling in Swiss Airlines and booked the flight ticket, you reached the airport at the time of the flight departure but the flight is delayed.
Now you cannot do anything in order to make it on time.
The only thing you can do is to know how you can get compensated against the delay in the flight.
The airlines always try to stick with the timing they informed to its passengers but sometimes it is not under the control of Airlines (bad weather, air traffic etc.)
In case of a flight delay, the Airlines offers you a voucher to make your ride smoother but wait, accepting this kind of service will lose the chance of getting Swiss Airline's flight delay compensation.
You can check whether you are eligible for the compensation or not by using your flight number, email address and name once you enter the details you will be able to check the status of getting the compensation.
Swiss WorldCargo will fly to Osaka five times weekly, while servicing Washington DC daily during its Summer Timetable, and five times weekly during its Winter Timetable.
The new destinations will offer a weekly payload of 100 to 150 tonnes in each direction.

The Zurich-Tokyo route will be operated with Boeing 777-300ERs from February 2020 onwards, and the Zurich-Miami route will switch to all-Boeing 777-300ER service from Summer 2020.
The larger-capacity Boeing 777-300ERs will offer an increase in payload.
