Airspace is excited to announce the opening of our first European office with the launch of Airspace B.V. From the headquarters, located at Schiphol-Rijk, the Netherlands, Airspace is expanding its team across the Netherlands, France, Germany, and the U.K. to support our ever-growing international customer network.
We are excited to be working with Alaska Air Cargo to support our time-critical shipments. As one of the most popular U.S. West Coast air carriers, their service and responsiveness are unattainable at other large companies. Since 2016 — when the initial partnership between Alaska and Airspace began — we have completed 3,000 shipments and counting.
The surgery is scheduled for 9 am sharp. The patient was in a car accident only a couple of hours ago and requires surgery immediately. The surgeons are prepared, the family is in the waiting room praying that their loved one will be okay, and the medical device representative gets to work. With advancements in technology, specific medical devices now exist that save lives and repair bodies. The surgeons can focus on performing a successful surgery and not worry about the technology.
Anyone familiar with time-critical shipping is familiar with the promise of a 99.9 on-time percentage. It is the number that almost every time critical forwarder boasts. I argue that not only is 99.9% a fabricated number that gives shippers a false sense of security, it is also the wrong number to set as a goal for the industry.
Airspace Technologies, Inc. is honored to welcome IVFCryo into the Airspace family. The partnership between Airspace and IVFCryo will allow IVF shippers a more efficient and accurate delivery process. In the words of IVFCryo's Co-founder and President, Don Fish; "When talking about life sciences, this is a match made in heaven."
Today more than ever, logistics is vital. During this COVID-19 crisis, time-critical shipping isn't going to just stop. Your shipments still need to be handled correctly. Through working in the industry for so many years, I have seen the following as consistent pillars of conversation.
