Qatar Airways Cargo and QAS Cargo have successfully secured recertification under the International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) CEIV Fresh program, reaffirming their commitment to maintaining the highest standards in the handling and transportation of perishable products.
The renewed certification validates the companies’ adherence to globally recognized best practices for temperature-controlled logistics, quality management, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance across the fresh cargo supply chain. The CEIV Fresh program is designed to ensure the safe and efficient movement of perishable goods, including fruits, vegetables, flowers, seafood, dairy products, and pharmaceuticals requiring controlled conditions.
The recertification highlights the continued efforts of Qatar Airways Cargo and QAS Cargo to strengthen their cold chain infrastructure and deliver reliable logistics solutions for customers transporting time-sensitive and temperature-sensitive products worldwide. Maintaining strict handling standards is increasingly important as global demand for fresh and perishable cargo continues to grow.
Qatar Airways Cargo, one of the world’s leading air freight carriers, has invested significantly in specialized facilities, advanced monitoring systems, and staff training to ensure cargo integrity throughout the transportation process. QAS Cargo plays a critical role in supporting these operations through dedicated ground handling services at Doha’s cargo facilities.
Industry observers note that the CEIV Fresh recertification enhances the companies’ competitiveness in the rapidly expanding perishables logistics market. The certification also provides additional assurance to exporters, importers, and logistics providers that shipments will be handled according to internationally recognized quality standards.
The achievement further strengthens Doha’s position as a major global air cargo hub connecting producers and consumers across Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas. As international trade in fresh produce and temperature-sensitive goods continues to expand, certified cold chain capabilities are becoming an increasingly important differentiator for air cargo operators.
With the successful recertification, Qatar Airways Cargo and QAS Cargo remain well positioned to support growing global demand for high-quality perishables transportation while maintaining operational excellence throughout the supply chain.
