Etihad Cargo begins and ends 2019 with Iata certification
Last month, Etihad Cargo, the cargo and logistics arm of Etihad Airways, became the second carrier to be awarded Iata's centre of excellence for perishable logistics (CEIV Fresh) in Abu Dhabi (UAE).
The new award elevates Etihad Cargo as the first Middle East airline to hold both of Iata's CEIV Fresh and CEIV Pharma certifications, achieved in January 2019, and one of the two carriers globally to claim this dual honour. Thus the carrier’s dedicated "FreshForward" product receives a validation for its end-to-end temperature-controlled solution for fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy, fish, meat and flowers across its global network.
In addition to covering Etihad Cargo’s airline operations, the CEIV’s Fresh Certification also comprises cargo handling and warehousing at Abu Dhabi International Airport. (ah)
