The CEIV Li-batt certification programme is designed to improve the safety during operations
Turkish Cargo has joined the ‘CEIV Lithium Battery’ certification programme, established by the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
The participation of the Carrier in the certification programme, which consists of the training, assessment and validation processes, was formalized at a recent signing ceremony on the sideleines of IATA World Cargo Symposium held in Istanbul.
“As a global air cargo brand, we are strongly committed to maintaining the supply chain for the lithium battery products and diligently fulfilling our responsibilities in this regard. Thus, participation in the CEIV Li-batt certification programme, which is globally accepted as one of the highest standards, is a great source of pride to us,” commented Bilal Ekşi, CEO, Turkish Airlines.
“Having Turkish Airlines, one of Europe’s largest cargo carriers achieve CEIV Li-batt certification is a significant boost for meeting shippers’ expectations in terms of the safe transport of goods containing lithium batteries,” remarked Brendan Sullivan, Global Head of Cargo at the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
Developed for the purpose of performance of global air cargo operations at a high standard, the CEIV Li-batt certification programme is designed to improve the safety during the handling and shipment of the lithium batteries throughout the supply chain.
