With the new Releye® RLP, Emirates can offer their customers the best active, fully connected, solution on their fleet of over 250 widebody airplanes," says Don Harrison, Head of Global Key Accounts, Airlines at Envirotainer.

As a customer focused organisation, we are always looking to offer the best in market equipment to complement our fit for purpose GDP certified infrastructure for the transportation of critical temperature sensitive commodities. Integrating the Envirotainer Releye® RLP container into our portfolio allows us to expand the range of solutions we offer to our customers and set a new standard for secure cold chain transport at a time when the biopharma industry is looking for groundbreaking solutions," said Henrik Ambak, Emirates Senior Vice President, Cargo Operations Worldwide.
