EVA Air and Its Affiliates Achieve Prestigious IATA Certifications

In a significant milestone, EVA Air along with its partners, Evergreen Air Cargo Services (EGAC) and Evergreen Airline Services Corp. (EGAS), has successfully achieved the prestigious IATA CEIV certifications for Fresh and Live Animals. This accomplishment is in addition to their earlier CEIV Lithium Batteries certification, making EVA Air one of the select few airline systems worldwide to hold a trio of recognized accolades spanning airline operations, cargo warehousing, and ground handling services.

This achievement demonstrates not just the operational excellence of EVA Air, but also underscores their commitment to maintaining high international quality standards in special cargo transportation.

A Commitment to Quality

EVA Air now boasts a comprehensive suite of IATA CEIV certifications: CEIV Pharma, CEIV Lithium Batteries, CEIV Fresh, and CEIV Live Animals. Holding all four certifications places EVA Air in an elite group within the global airline industry, highlighting their rigorous adherence to quality and safety benchmarks in cargo operations. The successful joint certification audit of EVA, EGAC, and EGAS has further solidified the unified quality and consistency of EVA’s cargo services, while enhancing Taiwan's reputation in the international air cargo arena.

Among the certified entities, EGAC stands out as the first air freight and storage operator in Taiwan to achieve CEIV Fresh certification. This designation is pivotal in ensuring that perishable shipments are handled with utmost care. EGAC is dedicated to precise temperature control and standardized handling practices throughout the entire cargo process—from receiving to delivery—to meet IATA’s stringent requirements. Utilizing state-of-the-art temperature monitoring systems and providing thorough training for their staff, EGAC not only preserves the integrity of products but also bolsters Taiwan’s agricultural and fishery exports through reliable cold-chain logistics.

Enhancing Animal Transport Services

In the realm of live animal transport, EVA Air and EGAS jointly promote and extend high cargo standards to include safe and humane passenger pet transportation. A notable instance of this commitment is illustrated by the recent donation of a male Bongo antelope from the Houston Zoo to the Taipei Zoo. This gesture celebrated the 64th anniversary of the sister-city relationship between Houston and Taipei as well as the 10th anniversary of EVA Air's Taipei-Houston route. EVA Air is honored to manage the intercontinental transport of this important wildlife transfer, thereby contributing to animal conservation efforts globally.

Transporting fresh produce and live animals necessitates multifaceted operations while complying with strict safety standards. EVA Air, along with its subsidiaries EGAC and EGAS, strictly adheres to detailed protocols to ensure reliability and stability at all cargo handling stages. This focused approach ensures a seamless experience for customers and cargo alike.

Future Outlook

As they move forward, EVA Air is resolved to maintain an intense focus on cooperation with EGAC and EGAS, striving to offer safe, efficient, and top-tier cargo services to customers worldwide. This ongoing collaboration will not only enhance their operational capabilities but also affirm Taiwan’s growing presence in the global air cargo market.
