Swissport Kenya has been awarded IATA CEIV Fresh certification in Nairobi, making it the first ground handler to achieve the standard in sub-Saharan Africa.
Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport is a major hub for perishables in East and Central Africa, and perishables represent about 80% of cargo handled by Swissport in Kenya.
The CEIV Fresh certificate covers Swissport Kenya’s Cargo Handling facility and Ground Services processes.
Racheal Naegwa, CEO of Swissport in Kenya says: “With 27 years of experience handling perishable goods in Nairobi, this certification attests to the organisation’s robust, efficient and sustainable processes for handling perishable cargo, as well its high-quality training programmes.”
In February 2020, Swissport was awarded IATA CEIV Pharma certification in Nairobi.
