For Avianca, it represents more than 50% of its\ntransported cargo, including flowers from Colombia and Ecuador and other\nperishables such as fruit, fish, and meat products from Chile, Peru, Argentina,\nand all of Latin America to the United States, Europe and the rest of the\nworld.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt Avianca Cargo, we are constantly seeking to operate\nunder the highest quality standards in each process we carry out, this is a\nhighly relevant milestone and today we are very proud to receive this\ncertification from IATA, Miami International Airport, and all our allies who\nare a fundamental part of the supply chain of perishable transport. We continue\ntransforming our business and we want to continue being the best ally of our\nclients by transporting their products that are sensitive to time and\ntemperature, under the highest quality standards. We continue to work every day\nto promote the development of Latin American economies and be a quality\nreference in the region\u201d, said Gabriel Oliva, CEO of Avianca Cargo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CEIV Fresh certification is part of Avianca Cargo\u2019s\nstrategy focused on excellence in the handling of perishable products. It\u2019s an\nessential part of its procedures, culture, training, infrastructure, and\nmonitoring to always guarantee the product\u2019s freshness.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CEIV Fresh is based on the IATA Perishable Cargo Regulations\nwhich combine regulatory and operational inputs from government and industry\nexperts. With this certification, IATA certifies that Avianca Cargo meets the\nhighest industry standards for food safety and waste prevention throughout the\nsupply chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Avianca Cargo has achieved this certification through risk\nand quality management, highly trained personnel for handling perishable goods,\nactive collaboration, transparent communication, and a standardized approach to\nthe transportation of perishable goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAir cargo plays a very important role for the economies in\nthe region. In many countries, agricultural exports contribute significantly to\nthe socio-economic development. Almost 70% of all goods shipped via air freight\nbetween Latin America and North America consist of perishable products. Without\nthe cooperation and collaboration of companies in the cold chain, and without\nharmonized global guidelines and standards followed by all, the risks of\nsomething going wrong are quite high. The industry has recognized this\nchallenge and the benefits of this certification, that\u2019s why we congratulate\nAvianca Cargo for taking this step and obtaining its CEIV Fresh Certification\u201d\nPeter Cerd\u00c3\u00a1, VP, Regional Americas IATA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCongratulations to Avianca Cargo for the recognition earned\ndue to its outstanding dedication to cargo handling,\u201d said Ralph Cutie,\nDirector, and CEO of MIA. \u201cWe\u2019re the busiest airport in terms of perishable\ncargo, handling 69% of all perishable imports coming into the country;\ntherefore, we\u2019re proud to celebrate this great global achievement with Avianca\nCargo\u2019s Miami station.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The official presentation of the certificate took place\nduring an event at Avianca Cargo\u2019s facilities in Miami with the participation\nof Peter Cerd\u00c3\u00a1, VP Regional Americas IATA; Ralph Cutie, Director &amp; CEO\nMDAD; Laura Pullins, President CNS and Abel Serrano, Assistant Port Director\nfor Agriculture, U.S. Customs &amp; Border Protection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As part of its transformation plan, and as one of the most relevant players in the transport of perishable goods in Latin America, Avianca Cargo met all the necessary requirements in order to receive the CEIV Fresh certification from IATA.
