Avianca Cargo to achieve CEIV certifications from IATA

Avianca Cargo obtained three new CEIV certifications from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), underlining its competence and high standards in the safe transport of lithium batteries and the handling of perishable products.

Ensuring the safe transportation of cargo such as technology, Avianca Cargo's Miami and Los Angeles stations received the CEIV Lithium Batteries certification by complying with the process in which safety protocols are evidenced under global standards. This is aimed at improving the level of competence and quality management in the handling and transportation of lithium batteries throughout the supply chain.

In line with the company’s strategy to strengthen its presence in the Chilean market and promote the development of the country's salmon industry, the Santiago de Chile station received the CEIV Fresh certification by demonstrating risk and quality management high standards, trained personnel for handling perishable products, transparent communication, and promotion of a standardized approach to the transportation of this type of product.

“One of our priorities at Avianca Cargo is to offer an efficient cargo service that is safe and meets high standards. Being certified under three categories of quality and excellence due to the diligent accomplishment of responsibilities in the transportation of products that require specialized handling makes us proud and motivates us to continue working to be a referent of quality in the region. It also reaffirms our commitment to continue being the best ally for our customers.”, remarks Gabriel Oliva, CEO of Avianca Cargo.

“Handling and transporting pharma, perishables and cargo containing lithium batteries is challenging given each has its own specific handling requirements. Adding CEIV Lithium Batteries to its CEIV Fresh and CEIV Pharma certification means Avianca Cargo is operating within a validated framework that meets regulatory requirements. We congratulate the airline on becoming the first in the Americas to complete the suite of CEIV certifications – Pharma, Fresh and Lithium Batteries. Avianca Cargo’s customers can have the confidence that their special cargo will be delivered safely and in top condition,” said Brendan Sullivan, IATA’s Global Head of Cargo.

These three new certifications: CEIV Fresh for Santiago de Chile and CEIV Lithium Batteries for Miami and Los Angeles, are in addition to the accreditations previously obtained by the company: CEIV Fresh for its Miami, Bogota, Medellin, and Quito stations; and CEIV Pharma for the Bogota and Miami stations.
