Cathay Pacific has become the first airline in Hong Kong to be awarded IATA CEIV Pharma Certification

IATA’s Centre of Excellence for Independent Validators certificate is globally-recognised pharmaceutical product handling certification that ensures proper pharmaceutical standards and guidelines are met, such as the European Union's Good Distribution Practice and the World Health Organisation (Annex 5) Good Distribution Practices for Pharmaceutical Products.

The achievement underlines the Cathay’s capabilities in the transportation of valuable, time-sensitive and temperature-controlled pharmaceutical products with speed, consistency and efficiency.

Cathay Pacific Director Commercial and Cargo, Ronald Lam, said: "It is a great honour to have been awarded IATA CEIV Pharma Certification, which recognises our commitment to our pharmaceutical customers. Cathay Pacific Cargo adheres to the highest operating standards and this certification highlights our capabilities in handling these precious, time-sensitive and often life-saving shipments."
