Creating a Comprehensive, High-Quality Air Cargo Network

TAIPEI, Taiwan, Dec. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- EVA Air, Evergreen Air Cargo Services (EGAC), and Evergreen Airline Services Corp. (EGAS) which obtained CEIV Lithium Batteries from the International Air Transport Association (IATA) in January this year, have once again joined forces to earn dual professional certifications for CEIV Fresh and CEIV Live Animals, becoming one of the few airline systems worldwide to simultaneously hold three accreditations across airline operations, cargo warehousing, and ground handling services. This achievement highlights EVA Air and its affiliated service companies' strong integration capabilities and international-level service quality in special cargo transportation.

EVA Air has now completed four IATA CEIV series certifications—CEIV Pharma, CEIV Lithium Batteries, CEIV Fresh, and CEIV Live Animals—making it one of the very few airlines globally to hold all four at once. The joint certification audit of EVA Air, EGAC, and EGAS further enhances the unified quality and consistency of EVA's cargo operations while reinforcing Taiwan's professional standing in the global air cargo market.

Among the certified companies, EGAC is the first air freight and storage operator in Taiwan to obtain CEIV Fresh certification. Dedicated to precise temperature control and standardized handling for perishable shipments, EGAC ensures full compliance with IATA's highest standards at every stage, from receiving and storage to final delivery. With advanced temperature monitoring and professional staff training, EGAC safeguards product integrity and supports Taiwan's agricultural and fishery exports with a reliable cold-chain logistics network, connecting local producers to global markets.

In the field of live animal transport, EVA Air and EGAS work closely to extend professional cargo standards to passenger pet transportation, ensuring a safe and comfortable journey for animals in transit. Recently, to celebrate the 64th anniversary of the sister-city relationship between Houston and Taipei and the 10th anniversary of EVA Air's Taipei–Houston route, the Houston Zoo donated a male Bongo antelope to the Taipei Zoo. EVA Air will be responsible for the intercontinental transport, showcasing its professionalism and dedication to wildlife conservation.

Transporting fresh cargo and live animals involves multiple operational stages and stringent safety requirements. EVA Air, EGAC, and EGAS adhere to consistent, rigorous procedures to maintain stability and reliability at every stage. Moving forward, EVA Air will continue to collaborate closely with EGAC and EGAS to deliver safe, reliable, and high-quality air cargo services for customers worldwide.
