Ethiopian Airlines Group, the fastest-growing airline brand globally and the continent’s largest airline brand, and the International Air Transport Association (IATA) signed an agreement on IATA CEIV Live Animals Certification Program on June 20, 2023, at the sidelines of the IATA Focus Africa Conference hosted by Ethiopian Airlines Group at Ethiopian Skylight from June 20-21, 2023.
The signing of the CEIV Live Animal Project Initiation will be a first step to enable Ethiopian to work hand-in-hand with IATA in getting CEIV certification which in turn allows our customers to see the global standards and requirements met by Ethiopian while transporting the precious animals we are entrusted with. As a result, Ethiopian will transport live animals with the world’s best quality services and standards. Furthermore, IATA’s latest Center of Excellence for Independent Validators (CEIV) certification provides confidence for live animal shippers, and the CEIV’s certification’s high standards will lead to high customer satisfaction.
Underlining the significance of signing the CEIV, Ethiopian Airlines Group Chief Executive Officer Mr Mesfin Tasew said, “The agreement we are signing with IATA on CEIV Live Animals Certification Program ensures our commitment towards demonstrating quality services. We are positive that IATA CEIV Certification, a landmark in transporting live animals, will help us improve operation standards, quality management system, facility and infrastructure requirements. We assure our customers that Ethiopian will continue to comply with the IATA requirements that set the industry’s policy and provide seamless aviation processes”.
Ethiopian Cargo and Logistics services transport special cargo like medical products, live animals and perishable products in compliance with international and industry standards. In recent years, Ethiopian has invested heavily in infrastructure, equipment, people, system, and processes to enhance its network’s special cargo and logistics handling capabilities.
Ethiopian Cargo & Logistics Services acquired IATA CEIV Pharma Certificate in December 2021. To ensure compliance with the highest standards and continuous improvement, we now signed CEIV Live Animal Project Initiation Agreement with IATA to become a holder of the IATA CEIV Live Animal Certificat,e which shows the length we go to assure our customers of the welfare of the animal’s we transport. After the CEIV Live Animal Certification, Ethiopian will continue to work closely with IATA to follow a harmonized and uniform application of compliance, standardization, accountability, and transparency for handling live animals by air.
