All Nippon Airways Co. will begin shipping fresh meat and vegetables on long-haul flights using a coolant that keeps food products fresh for several days, according to company officials.
The new service will allow clients in Japan to ship produce to Europe and the United States, which was previously difficult due to costs and a lack of necessary equipment.
The IceBattery coolant, developed by Tokyo-based Innovation Thru Energy Co., can keep food products at low temperatures for up to five days. The airline will begin offering the shipping service on flights leaving Japan on Sept. 28.
