Ground handler Menzies Aviation has been awarded the IATA CEIV Pharma accreditation for its cargo facility at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS).
The certification is awarded to companies in the air cargo supply chain that demonstrate compliance with standards set by IATA for the handling of pharma products.
Prior to being awarded the certification, Menzies implemented a series of IT upgrades to ensure all relevant pharmaceutical checklists were digitised and correct handling was carried out.
"This ensures all Menzies operations meet the industry’s need for compliance, standardisation, accountability, and transparency across the air transport supply chain," the company said.
AMS is the fifth Menzies facility to be awarded this prestigious accreditation, joining Sydney (SYD), Melbourne (MEL), London Heathrow (LHR) and Budapest (BUD) airports.
Miguel Gomez-Sjunnesson, executive vice president Europe, Menzies Aviation, said: “We’re delighted that Amsterdam joins the list of Menzies’ CEIV Pharma-approved facilities. At a time when our cargo network is expanding globally, it’s important that our facilities and processes meet the high standards of pharmaceutical handling that this accreditation demands.”
