LONDON: At the International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) annual World Cargo Symposium (WCS), CEVA Logistics has expanded its owned, controlled SKYCAPACITY program and added five more stations to its network of air freight locations certified under the CEIV Lithium Battery program.
Joining the Amsterdam and Hong Kong air freight stations from 2021, CEVA’s locations in Frankfurt, Incheon, Shanghai (PVG), Singapore and Tokyo are now CEIV certified in the handling of lithium batteries.
CEVA became the world’s first company to receive the new IATA CEIV in 2021 after teaming with IATA to support the development of the new certification program.
CEVA expects to receive the certification at two U.S. locations in Atlanta and Detroit by the end of 2022, bringing its total number of certified stations to nine.
The certification confirms each facility’s ability to properly handle and store lithium batteries, as well as validates the necessary training and expertise of on-site employees. The company remains committed to providing its customers with peace of mind through a completely certified network, delivering air cargo services under its CEVA Batteries Solutions.
