Recently, Maurice Ward Budapest took part in PharmaLog 2026, organised by NavigátorVilág. Pharma Account Manager Gábor Flórián represented Maurice Ward & Co. in an expert panel on pharmaceutical air freight, sharing practical experience and highlighting our expertise in this specialised sector.
Our Budapest office is GDP compliant and provides flight solutions through Budapest Airport, packaging solutions and customs assistance for pharmaceutical shipments. These services are important because manufacturers’ requirements must be followed throughout the supply chain, with careful handling and packaging playing a key role.
The panel discussed temperature-controlled packaging, GDP deliveries, cold-chain monitoring and the safe transport of pharmaceutical products. Pharmaceutical and temperature-controlled shipments represent only 4% of global air freight by volume but 11% by value, showing why strict control is essential.
Budapest Airport also offers attractive conditions for pharmaceutical exports due to lower outbound cargo volumes. Its IATA CEIV Pharma system supports secure handling at Cargo City, while greater capacity, temperature-controlled screening and better digital information flow remain important for future development.

The first ever ‘cargo only’ flight was recorded in November 1910 in the USA, using a Wright Model B aeroplane that flew 65 miles carrying a package of silk. The business owner used the pioneering transport more as a PR stunt to celebrate the opening of his store, with the bundle of silk cut into individual pieces and glued onto souvenir postcards.
