Airport Cold Storage

01 — Why it matters

Why Airport-Adjacent Cold Storage Matters

Air cargo is the fastest-growing segment of temperature-controlled logistics. Pharmaceuticals, biologics, fresh produce, and perishables move through airports daily — and a temperature excursion at the dock can destroy an entire shipment.

Temperature excursion during tarmac-to-storage gap
GDP documentation failure and audit risk
Product degradation for biologics and perishables
Insurance exposure and regulatory non-compliance

04 — Markets

IAH, DFW, AUS & SAT Airports

IAH (George Bush Intercontinental) is a major pharmaceutical and perishable air cargo hub. DFW handles national redistribution. AUS serves Austin's biotech and clinical trial corridor. SAT supports Mexico cross-border trade.

IAH — Houston Intercontinental (pharma & perishables)
DFW — Dallas/Fort Worth (national redistribution)
AUS — Austin-Bergstrom (biotech & clinical)
SAT — San Antonio (Mexico trade corridor)

FAQ

FAQ — Airport Cold Storage

What is GDP-compliant cold storage?

Good Distribution Practice (GDP) is the pharmaceutical industry standard for validated temperature-controlled storage and distribution. We engineer facilities to GDP requirements with validated temp mapping, alarm systems, and documentation-ready data logging.

Do you build airside or in adjacent industrial corridors?

Both. We deliver in airport cargo parks, adjacent industrial zones, and air freight logistics corridors — wherever cargo throughput requires.

What temperature ranges do airport cold storage facilities run at?

+2°C to +8°C for pharma, +34°F for produce, +28°F for dairy/meat, and -10°F to -20°F for frozen air cargo.

How fast can you commission a facility?

Modular and pre-engineered components compress timelines. Most airport-adjacent facilities can be commissioned in 9–14 months from contract.
