"Air freight handlers today require specific capabilities to manage pharmaceutical products compared to products from other type of industries. The CEIV Pharma programme aims to implement a global standard across the air cargo supply chain by addressing the challenges of each stakeholder, including the latest achievements in pharmaceutical product transportation. This programme is proof that the air cargo industry is taking the challenges and concerns of the pharma shippers seriously to ensure that pharmaceutical products get to their destination swiftly and safely," said Glyn Hughes, Head of Cargo for IATA.
The Centre of Excellence for Independent Validators Pharma certification programme aims to become the universally recognised standard for handling good of this nature across domains such as infrastructure improvement, staff training levels and standards of control worldwide.
