IATA's CEIV Pharma certification ensures high standards in pharmaceutical logistics

BRU is known for its dedicated infrastructure for transporting and handling products that require an unbroken cold chain, particularly pharmaceutical and biotech products. The Belgian pharmaceutical industry is highly export-oriented.

“Manufacturers have high expectations and specific requirements with regard to maintaining the quality of the products and the properties of the active ingredients throughout the logistics chain. They call on transportation services that, on one hand, ensure the shortest route to the final customer and, on the other hand, maintain the quality of the product through an unbroken cold chain. For these companies, transport by air remains the best possible solution,” according to BRU's website.

To elevate CEIV Pharma certification further, IATA recently worked with Pharma.Aero—a collaboration platform launched by BRU with Miami International Airport and Changi Airport Group based on the CEIV program. Together, these organizations studied CEIV Pharma and published their findings this year in a white paper. Frédéric Léger, IATA senior vice president of commercial products and services says that they identified opportunities for reaching smaller enterprises better serving underserved markets as well as process enhancements.
