Italy-based airport handler BCUBE Air Cargo has received IATA’s CEIV certification (Centre of Excellence for Independent Validators) for pharmaceutical handling at its Malpensa Logistica Europa facility.

The Malpensa airport certification follows CEIV accreditation for the company’s Fiumicino airport hub in July this year.

BCUBE Air Cargo, part of the Italian logistics group BCUBE, is among the first companies to be certificated under the CEIV Pharma programme.

CEIV, mainly intended for airlines and ground handlers but also for forwarding agents and carriers, aims at defining uniform standards of service in the air transportation of temperature-sensitive pharma products.
