National Airlines becomes first U.S. carrier to obtain IATA IEnvA certification

National Airlines has announced that it has officially obtained the IATA Environmental Assessment (IEnvA) Certification, becoming the first US carrier to receive this highly regarded global recognition. This milestone represents National's fifth certification and formal recognition from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), further reinforcing the airline's long-standing commitment to service excellence, operational discipline, and sustainable practices.

The IEnvA Certification is one of the most rigorous environmental assessment programs, designed to evaluate and enhance an organization's environmental performance through structured governance, risk management, compliance, and continuous improvement. By meeting IATA's stringent global standards, National Airlines has demonstrated a comprehensive and measurable approach to environmental stewardship across its operations.

This achievement places National Airlines among a select group of certified organizations worldwide and highlights its leadership role in advancing responsible and sustainable aviation practices. It reflects the airline's proactive alignment with internationally recognized environmental frameworks, ensuring consistency, transparency, and accountability in environmental management.

"We are honored to have achieved this certification, which serves as a strong foundation for the airline's continued progress in embedding sustainable practices across all aspects of our operations. I would like to sincerely thank IATA's leadership for their ongoing partnership, as well as the dedicated teams at National Airlines for their unwavering commitment to sustainable operational excellence and their consistent efforts to uphold the highest global aviation standards," said Christopher Alf, Chairman, National Air Cargo Inc.

The IEnvA Certification reaffirms the airline's role as a forward-looking U.S. carrier that embraces global best practices, supports industry-wide sustainability objectives, and contributes meaningfully to a more responsible future for air transport.

Earlier, the airline had already earned a comprehensive suite of prestigious IATA CEIV certifications, encompassing Pharma, Live Animal, Lithium Battery, and Fresh. These accolades firmly established National Airlines' benchmark for specialized logistics and stringent operational adherence across diverse sectors. The IEnvA certification now serves as the capstone achievement to this distinguished portfolio, emphatically solidifying the airline's industry leadership in both operational excellence and pioneering environmental governance.
