Air Canada Cargo has received QEP Accreditation from Envirotainer at its Canadian Global hub – Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) as well as six more stations across its network: Indianapolis (IND), Chicago (ORD), London Heathrow (LHR), Paris (CDG), Amsterdam (AMS) and Frankfurt (FRA).

“We are proud to receive QEP Accreditation from Envirotainer. This is an important acknowledgement of our commitment to maintaining the highest industry standards when it comes to the handling of temperature-controlled shipments,” said Lise-Marie Turpin, Vice President Air Canada Cargo.
“AC Absolute° is a premium, quality-driven service that the healthcare industry can rely on when shipping healthcare products,” said Chris Fore, Compliance Manager at Envirotainer. “I am especially pleased to recognize Air Canada Cargo as a Qualified Envirotainer Provider.”
Air Canada Cargo has handled the Envirotainer container since 2011, when it launched its AC Absolute° solution.  An AC Cool Chain solution, AC Absolute° is offered at over 40 certified locations throughout Air Canada Cargo’s international network.
Air Canada Cargo will pursue QEP accreditation at all AC Absolute° locations in its continued commitment to the quality handling of temperature-controlled shipments.
