Over recent months, as part of a complex procedure, independent specialists have reviewed the airline's
processes when transporting pharmaceuticals using the Cool/td Active and Cool/td Passive
products and have assessed Lufthansa Cargo as exhibiting superior reliability and expertise. As
such, Lufthansa Cargo is now one of only a handful of airlines worldwide to have received this certification
for processes throughout the global route network. The Lufthansa Cargo Cool Center in Frankfurt
was also successfully certified. With the 4,500 square metre building, Lufthansa Cargo ensures that
pharmaceutical shipments are handled reliably and quickly at its home airport.
“In achieving IATA CEIV Pharma certification across its global network,
Lufthansa Cargo joins an elite group of six airlines whose customers can have even more
confidence that their pharmaceuticals will be delivered in impeccable condition,” commented Glyn
Hughes, IATA's Global Head of Cargo. “IATA has created CEIV Pharma to help airlines, handlers
and forwarders to be compliant with international regulations and to create one global standard
for transporting pharmaceuticals.”
