Marken remains committed to delivering lifesaving drugs with quality excellence to our clients and their patients. This year, with the Olympic games occurring in Paris, we understand and anticipate delays in deliveries and collections from sites in France, in areas where the Olympics and Paralympics will be organized. We are proactively monitoring all transportation routes leading up to this grand event and our experts are working on solutions, with contingency plans in place. We will communicate necessary updates directly to our clients, on a case-by-case basis, leading up to the event.

PARIS OLYMPICS 2024 SCHEDULE: 

  • Ceremony – July 26
  • Olympics – July 24 to August 11
  • Paralympics – August 28 to September 8

OPERATIONAL UPDATES:

  • AIRLINES – Marken has received confirmation that no impact is expected from the airlines at this time. Our team is in daily contact with the regional airlines to anticipate any disruption that may occur during these series of events. 
  • ROAD – The organizers of the Olympic games released a transportation plan for every day of the event in Paris. The transportation plan is available here. A security plan has also been released by the authorities, which cover the accessibility & restrictions throughout this event.
