Condor is strengthening its cargo operations: At the beginning of the new year, Condor officially obtained the CEIV Pharma certification for its cargo division. This certification, issued by the Center of Excellence for Independent Validators in Pharmaceutical Logistics (CEIV) under the International Air Transport Association (IATA), confirms that Condor meets the stringent requirements for transporting pharmaceutical products. With this globally recognized standard, the airline is certified for the proper handling of pharmaceuticals throughout the logistics chain, covering key aspects such as safety, security, compliance, and efficiency.

"The transportation of pharmaceutical & healthcare products is highly sensitive by nature. We are therefore delighted that Condor has been awarded the CEIV Pharma certification, demonstrating our ability to meet critical challenges such as maintaining cold chain integrity, speed, and reliability," says Thilo Schäfer, Director Cargo at Condor. "The expansion of our product portfolio and this new offering have already been well received by our customers, and we are committed to further strengthening this segment in the coming months."

Continuous Expansion of the CEIV Pharma Network

Currently, transportation of pharmaceutical shipments following CEIV standards is available on Condor’s direct routes between Frankfurt (FRA), Toronto (YYZ), New York (JFK), and Miami (MIA). "We plan to continuously expand this offering and extend it to additional routes between Frankfurt and other global destinations," explains Dimitri Mougoyannis, Director Ground Operations. “Our goal is to provide our customers with a high-quality solution on key pharmaceutical trade lanes.”

With the introduction of 18 brand-new Airbus A330-900neo aircraft, offering a cargo capacity of 10 to 14 tons per flight, Condor has already significantly expanded its cargo capabilities.
