Infrastructure and cold chain management
The tour included a visit to the cold storage warehouse, designed to handle perishable products requiring controlled temperatures. Here, we transitioned from Miami’s 30°C to the warehouse’s 4°C. The facility is equipped with rolling panels on the floor, facilitating the efficient movement of pallets.
The busiest seasons for this operation are Valentine’s Day (February) and Mother’s Day (May), when the demand for flowers reaches historic peaks. In addition to flowers, products such as salmon and other temperature-sensitive foods are stored.
Avianca Cargo’s operation not only demonstrates its logistical capacity but also its responsibility in meeting high standards for the transportation of diverse goods, adapting to the demands of the global market.
