AAT achieves perishables certification
Asia Airfreight Terminal (AAT) has been awarded Iata’s ‘Center of Excellence for Perishable Logistics’ certification (CEIV Fresh). The company, based at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA), pointed out that “this accreditation recognises our expertise, training and facilities for the handling of perishable cargo in accordance with global standards. It enhances our services and professionalism when handling temperature-sensitive shipments.”
AAT is currently further enhancing its handling capabilities to capture opportunities offered by increasing demand for the safe transportation of sensitive perishables and pharmaceuticals by air, as part of the airport authority's initiative to develop HKIA into a world perishables hub. Facility upgrades will be ready by 2022. (ah)
