Air Canada has secured the International Air Transport Association's (IATA) CEIV Lithium Batteries certification for its cargo operations, strengthening its capabilities in handling specialised shipments while reaffirming its commitment to safety, regulatory compliance and operational excellence. Janet Wallace, Managing Director, Cargo Operations and Transformation at Air Canada, said, “Achieving IATA CEIV Lithium Batteries certification is an important milestone for Air Canada Cargo and reflects the strength of our people, processes and operational discipline.” Air Canada achieved the certification after completing a comprehensive review of its cargo operating procedures and successfully undergoing an independent IATA audit of its documented processes, operational procedures and cargo activities, including an on-site assessment of its Montreal (YUL) cargo facility. The CEIV Lithium Batteries certification adds to Air Canada’s existing CEIV Pharma and CEIV Live Animals accreditations, further strengthening its expertise in transporting specialised, sensitive and highly regulated cargo across its global network. Backed by service to more than 450 destinations worldwide, the airline combines an extensive international network with globally recognised safety and quality standards for handling complex shipments.
