MIAMI, November 7, 2023 — Amerijet International Airlines, a leading provider of global air cargo services, is proud to announce the successful completion of its second IATA CEIV Pharma recertification. This achievement underscores Amerijet’s unwavering commitment to the safe and efficient handling of temperature-controlled healthcare and life science products.
IATA’s CEIV Pharma certification is independently validated and ensures that all certified stakeholders meet or exceed the global standards set forth by IATA Temperature Control Regulations (TCR), European Union Good Distribution Practices (EU GDP), World Health Organization (WHO) and the United States Pharmacopeia Standards (USP).
“We are thrilled to have achieved our second IATA CEIV Pharma recertification,” said Chris Mazzeo, Amerijet’s VP of Global Operations. “This accomplishment reaffirms our dedication to excellence in the handling of temperature-sensitive healthcare and life science products. We understand the critical importance of maintaining the integrity and safety of these products, especially in today’s global healthcare landscape.”
To achieve the IATA CEIV Pharma recertification, Amerijet underwent a rigorous assessment of its facilities, processes, and staff training to ensure compliance with IATA’s stringent standards. This recertification demonstrates Amerijet’s ability to handle pharmaceutical and healthcare shipments with precision, adherence to temperature requirements, and compliance with regulatory guidelines.
“Amerijet remains committed to staying at the forefront of industry best practices, and this recertification is a testament to that commitment. We will continue to invest in the training and development of our staff, the enhancement of our facilities, and the optimization of our processes to provide the highest level of service to our valued clients,” added Eric Wilson, Chief Commercial Officer for Amerijet.
In 2017, Amerijet became the inaugural U.S.-based all-cargo airline to receive the prestigious CEIV-Pharma certification. This certification not only sets us apart as a trusted carrier for pharmaceutical goods but also contributes to the overall safety and integrity of the supply chain for these critical products. It’s essential for companies like Amerijet to continue upholding such certifications to support the healthcare industry’s needs effectively.
