Ethiopian Airlines re-certified under CEIV Pharma
Ethiopian Airlines has successfully been re-certified under Iata CEIV Pharma accreditation, both as an airline and as a ground-handling agent. In 2022 Ethiopian became the first airline in Africa to achieve CEIV Pharma accreditation (centre of excellence for independent validators in pharmaceutical logistics). Today the carrier continues to uphold high standards of operational excellence.
With this re-certification the airline has affirmed its commitment to modernising its cold chain infrastructure, specialised its training programmes and upgraded innovative technologies to meet pharmaceutical logistics needs.
According to group CEO Mesfin Tasew “our goal is to make Addis Ababa the premier pharmaceuticals corridor in the global south, leveraging our strategic geographical location to address the logistics challenges of healthcare air transport.” (cj)
