Life sciences logistics shipment spotlights
April 16, 2026
When a deadly fire in Switzerland triggered urgent demand for burn‑care supplies, AIT Worldwide Logistics’ Life Sciences Division mobilized fast to make sure our customer’s critical shipment of reproducible skin tissue made it to Europe on time.
Despite winter storms on both continents causing flight cancellations, we coordinated closely with air and road carriers to get the three pallets of much-needed tissue from California to a distribution center in Belgium by the required date. The operational pivot in response to weather disruption involved quickly rebooking the shipment on a next-flight-out to France and providing dedicated trucking from Paris to the destination.
Our team of life sciences logistics experts also managed customs clearance for the temperature-controlled shipment and provided constant monitoring of the critical cargo.
The result? Delivery approximately three days faster compared to the original weather‑impacted plan – helping sustain emergency and follow-up patient care across the region.
“AIT managed expedited collection and final delivery on short notice,” our customer said. “Events like this underscore the importance of reliable healthcare manufacturing and logistics. They also highlight the strength of our partnership with AIT.”

When every second counts—and every degree matters—AIT Worldwide Logistics’ Critical Solutions Group (CSG) delivers.
Recently, our team partnered with a clinical-stage biotech company to transport a highly sensitive, life-changing shipment: a cornea bound for a regenerative medicine and cell therapy organization in Tokyo, from a donor tissue site in Seattle.
This advanced therapy, aimed at treating diseases of the eye, requires strict temperature control (between 2 to 8°C) and precise timing to preserve its viability.
With only a handful of days to prepare, AIT’s CSG provided van pickup, specialized single-use Credo Cube packaging with built-in GPS tracking, and coordination with the hospital to ensure everything was in place for final delivery.
The result? A flawless cornea delivery and a new partnership. After experiencing missed flights and communication gaps with a previous provider, the biotech client now trusts AIT’s patient-centric solutions for all their shipping needs.

As part of our biotechnology customer’s work on a potential cure for type 1 diabetes, they needed to quickly move the samples from a university in Sweden to their lab in the United States.
AIT's hand carry (also known as “on board courier”) service ensured that these vital samples were delivered promptly and safely, clearing customs much faster than a typical shipment, and eliminating chain of custody concerns.
From scheduling just-in-time pickup immediately after a major holiday to providing shipment packaging and dry ice, AIT’s life sciences logistics pros meticulously managed every detail to guarantee success.
We are incredibly honored to have played a role by providing same-day transatlantic delivery for this potentially transformative research.

The team moved quickly to create a customized plan, including ground pickup and delivery. In close collaboration with our core carrier partners at Los Angeles International Airport, AIT coordinated the quick pull of the package from the cargo hold so it would make its connecting flight (with an extremely narrow 10-minute window!), avoiding otherwise certain product expiration.
The team’s relationships and expertise ensured the critical, temperature-sensitive shipment of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched platelets reached the patient in need – on time and in pristine condition.
And thanks to smart, patient-centric solutions like this, the customer continues to turn to AIT for blood logistics support to serve others in need.

Starting with test runs from Nashville to Chicago, Indiana, Las Vegas and Memphis, the team coordinated with multiple client facilities by collecting, repacking and delivering test shipments to numerous consignees on deadline — while also developing contingency plans to handle any potential complications.
