Qatar Airways Cargo, alongside its ground handling division Qatar Aviation Services Cargo (QAS Cargo), has announced the successful recertification of its IATA CEIV Fresh accreditation. This renewed certification signifies that both entities continue to meet the stringent global benchmarks for the safe and efficient handling and transportation of perishable cargo.
The IATA CEIV Fresh program is specifically designed to ensure that the cold chain for temperature-sensitive products, such as fruits, vegetables, flowers, and seafood, is maintained throughout the air cargo journey. Adherence to these standards is crucial for preserving the quality and extending the shelf life of perishables.
For freight forwarders and logistics professionals, this recertification by a major air cargo carrier like Qatar Airways Cargo provides assurance regarding the integrity of their perishable shipments. It indicates a reliable and compliant service for temperature-controlled logistics, potentially reducing risks associated with spoilage and regulatory non-compliance. This can be a key factor when selecting carriers for sensitive cargo, offering confidence in the airline's operational capabilities and commitment to quality standards.
