CEIV Pharma for Swissport in Montreal

Swissport International is adding Montreal to its network of CEIV Pharma certified cargo warehouses.

The biggest ground services and cargo handling provider for the aviation industry has received the certification as the first air cargo handler in Canada.

The International Air Transport Association has awarded Swissport Cargo Services Montreal at Pierre Elliot Trudeau airport with CEIV certification for particularly sensitive pharmaceutical logistics. CEIV is IATA`s Centre of Excellence for Independent Validators. The CEIV Pharma standards guarantee air freight customers highest quality and temperature control standards for the transport of sensitive pharmaceutical products.

“We are very pleased to receive the IATA certification for our facility in Montreal", commented Nils Knudsen, Chief Commercial Officer of Swissport International. “The formal recognition by IATA reflects our strategic commitment to superior air cargo handling services.”



With annual growth rates of nearly 10% and a total turnover of some 27,000 tonnes in 2017, Montreal is a key cargo location for Swissport in Canada.
