The seven facilities are operated in conjunction with joint venture partners Air France-KLM.

Delta Cargo is the first US passenger carrier to receive IATA's Center of Excellence for Independent Validators (CEIV) Pharma logistics Certification.

Currently, Delta Cargo has 50 pharma approved stations across the globe with seven CEIV approved facilities in Europe%u2014all connected to Delta's largest cargo operation in Atlanta, which is also CEIV certified.

The CEIV stations in Europe are located in Amsterdam, Brussels, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Milan, Paris-CDG and Rome, thereby creating a trans-Atlantic CEIV network to the United States.
Delta offers four tailored pharma options, with a variety of containers and coolers, across its network.

Additionally in Frankfurt, Delta offers temperature- controlled carts for the ramp operation, which facilitate transportation of shipments in a temperature controlled environment between the aircraft and the warehouse.
