IATA AND ATA JOIN FORCES TO IMPLEMENT CEIV LIVE ANIMALS
August 29, 2019
On July 10, 2019, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the Animal Transport Association (ATA) joined forces to encourage industry adoption of the Center of Excellence for Independent Validators for Live Animals Logistics (CEIV Live Animals) through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between IATA and ATA at the latter’s 49th Annual Conference in Budapest, Hungary.
CEIV Live Animals is a standardized global certification program designed to help ensure that best practices are in place to protect the welfare of animals when they travel by air. Under the terms of the MoU, both organizations will collaborate to improve the handling and transport of animals worldwide and ensure access to adequate training for all stakeholders involved.
