Qatar Airways Cargo, which carries in excess of 285,000 tons of perishable goods on its global network every year, has streamlined its Next Generation Fresh process for all kinds of perishable shipments. Three sub-categories, Fresh Care, Fresh Passive and Fresh Advanced, ensure that the fragile cargo is carefully and professionally handled according to industry-specific standards. An in-depth IATA CEIV certification process has validated Qatar Airways Cargo’s perishables expertise and resulted in IATA CEIV Fresh accreditation.
In addition to its state-of-the-art Climate Control Centre at Doha’s Hamad International Airport, Qatar Airways Cargo has placed particular emphasis on the most vulnerable segment of the perishables supply chain, deploying temperature-controlled trucks and securing quick ramp transfers within 90 minutes to minimize ramp exposure. Improving protection along the cool chain reduces the risk of food wastage and ensures that products arrive in good, saleable condition with an optimum shelf-life.
