International Air Transport Association (IATA) CEIV Live Animals Certifies It!
     QR does it again, becoming the first airline in the Middle East to receive CEIV Live Animals certification by IATA, announced Wednesday January 6, reportedly after six months of rigorous process and product audits.
     QR passed with flying colors becoming only one of four carriers on the planet to earn the IATA CEIV Live Animal badge of approval.
    “This certification is testament to the dedication and detail that we put into transporting the many different live animals that are placed in our custody,” Guillaume Halleux, Chief Officer Cargo at Qatar Airways declared.
    “Whether they are horses, household pets, livestock, or exotic animals transported on our scheduled and charter flights or wild animals being flown under our WeQare Rewild the Planet initiative, we go beyond the required regulatory standards, to ensure that the animals are given the utmost care and comfort for the entire duration of the journey.”
     This time last year, Qatar Airways Cargo was also recognized as IATA CEIV Pharma certified, having demonstrated its compliance with the industry-leading practices in the booking, acceptance, handling, and transportation of pharmaceutical products.
    QR Cargo said that as 2022 gets underway, it has IATA CEIV Fresh square up in its sights for approval next.
