It is said today that Pharmaceutical companies could be the worst off over this flight business, as production of pills are not being transferred to where they need to be.
Christopher Snelling, FTA’s head of global supply said: ‘Consumers won’t notice too much difference on consumer goods but it may be a problem for processes in the manufacturing industry.’
‘Flying in components could be a problem for particular factories. And I think they may have happened already in the pharmaceuticals industry.’
It’s estimated that 25 – 30% of exports into Britain are by plane, and the Pharmaceutical companies need their produce as soon as possible. If flights take so long to arrive then many medicines that go by shelf life could expire and become unusable.
