Faced with the challenge of moving billions of Covid-19 vaccine doses, GMR Hyderabad International Airport Limited, GMR Hyderabad Air Cargo, and Dubai Airports have come together in a first of its kind initiative to build an exclusive Vaccine Air Freight Corridor called ‘HYDXB-VAXCOR’ (Hyderabad to Dubai global Vaccine Corridor).
Since Hyderabad and its nearby regions are hub of several vaccine manufacturers, it is expected that majority of indigenously manufactured vaccines will be exported from Hyderabad airport to various parts of the globe.
GMR, in a statement Monday, informed that an MoU regarding the Hyderabad-Dubai vaccine air freight corridor was signed by Pradeep Panicker, CEO-GMR Hyderabad International Airport, Saurabh Kumar, CEO-GMR Hyderabad Air Cargo, and Eugene Barry, EVP-Commercial, Dubai Airports Corporation in a virtual ceremony last week.
