CJ Logistics Obtains International Certification for Pharmaceutical Air Transport

CJ Logistics announced on the 26th that it has obtained the international certification CEIV Pharma, which certifies the qualification to transport pharmaceuticals by air.

This certification is accredited by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and evaluates over 280 items including critical temperature control during transportation, operation of specialized personnel, and compliance with international regulations. Pharmaceuticals are temperature-sensitive, making cold chain logistics essential to maintain a consistent appropriate temperature.

The company has its own temperature control system called ‘Cool Guardian.’ By utilizing this system, it is possible to monitor indoor temperature and humidity in real-time for efficient and stable storage. Additionally, it operates a 5,800㎡ dedicated pharmaceutical logistics center at Incheon Airport’s Terminal 2 logistics complex. It manages pharmaceutical logistics for over 70 domestic and international pharmaceutical companies.

With this certification as a milestone, the company plans to actively explore overseas pharmaceutical logistics markets beyond the domestic market. Air transportation of pharmaceuticals has shown an average annual growth rate of about 6% over the past decade and is considered a next-generation logistics sector. Jang Young-ho, head of CJ Logistics, stated, "The pharmaceutical logistics business, which is being promoted as a new business, will become an opportunity to enhance our competitiveness in securing orders in the global market."
