ANIMAL
TRANSPORT
“Animals’ delivery is a
multi-tiered, complex process
which includes the whole
spectrum of preliminary
work necessary for the safety
and well-being of special
passengers. Just to be on the
safe side, we recommend
going through this process
step by step. However, with
all operations procedures in
place, we have all the skills,
capabilities and expertise to
organise urgent deliveries,
too,” he concludes.
CEIV Live Animals: one year on
IATA’s Corporate Communications Manager, Mona Aubin, provides an
update on recent certifiers under the CEIV Live Animals scheme, a year
after its launch. “Since Air Canada’s certification, we are delighted to
confirm the recent certification of City of London - Heathrow Animal
Reception Centre (HARC). HARC is the Live Animal Border Inspection Post
for Heathrow airport,” says Aubin. She adds that a freight forwarder is
also in the process of certification, but it is too soon to share the name.
“In addition, we have a few others in the final stages of signing up for
the certification process, including some from the Middle East and Latin
America,” she adds.
“The growing interest in the CEIV Live Animals certification for safe
air transport of live animals is very encouraging to see. We are receiving
queries from airlines, logistics providers and every player in the supply
chain involved in such precious cargo who understand the need to follow
reliable standards and processes. By getting the CEIV Live Animals
certification they gain the credibility and trust of both the customers and
the partners all across the supply chain, so the rewards are immediate
and significant,” she asserts.
