Korean Air Renews CEIV Pharma Certification with IATA

(27 June 2022, 10:57 +07)  Korean Air has renewed its Certification Independent Validators Pharma (CEIV Pharma) with IATA.

CEIV Pharma is an international standard that recognizes an airline’s capability to manage pharmaceuticals. More than 280 checklists, including transportation handling procedure, storage facilities, equipment and the ability to adhere to regulations, are evaluated by air cargo transportation experts for certification.

Korean Air frequently transports pharmaceuticals such as vaccines, lab reagents and serums, as well as fresh products including flowers, fruits, seafood, through its “Specialized-Pharma” and “Specialized-Fresh” services.

Through a joint investment with Incheon International Airport Corporation, the airline operates a “Cool Cargo Center” at the airport’s Terminal 2. Constructed in September 2021, the facility significantly improved the service quality of temperature-sensitive cargo by minimizing exposure to adverse environments and by reducing unnecessary movement and traffic.

The airline has also transported more than 100 million doses of COVID19 vaccines to date, and continues to transport emergency medical supplies - from COVID treatments and to diagnostic kits – around the world.

Certification is valid for three years.
