"The flowers imported through Miami International highlight the importance of efficient and dependable cold chain facilities," said Jennifer Carter. "Specialized cooler facilities used for flowers and other perishable items are mission critical for shipping pharmaceuticals globally. As many have learned with the COVID-19 vaccines, most pharmaceuticals must be kept at a constant temperature just like the flowers. Facilities such as this one, and the others that we have at more than 35 airports across North America, will continue to support this growing need."
