Qatar Airways ua avea ma kamupani vaalele lona lua i le lalolagi ua faʻamaonia le IATA CEIV Lithium Battery ma Qatar Aviation Services o le kamupani muamua lea e faʻatautaia le eleele ua faʻamaonia i le lalolagi atoa.

O le tusipasi e faʻamoemoe e faʻaleleia le saogalemu i le taulimaina ma le felauaiga o maa lithium i totonu o le sapalai sapalai. O le Qatar Airways ma le Qatar Aviation Services na latou faia se sao taua i le mamanu ma le faʻatinoina o le IATA lata mai nei polokalame CEIV Lithium Battery ma faʻaauau pea ona auai malosi i lona faʻaleleia lelei ma fetuunaiga.

Fai mai le Pule Sili o Qatar Airways Group, Lana Afioga Mr. Akbar Al Baker: “O le saogalemu o pasese ma uta o lo matou popolega sili lea i taimi uma, ma o loʻo faʻaauau pea ona matou fautua mo tulafono faatonutonu talafeagai i le felauaiga o maa lithium. Matou te fiafia e avea ma kamupani vaalele lona lua ua faʻamaonia ma matou faʻamalosia tagata taʻalo uma o le ea ina ia faʻamaonia. I le avea ai o se alamanuia, e tatau ona tatou taulaʻi atu i le puipuia o lamatiaga ma e ausia e ala i tulafono faatonutonu, aʻoaʻoga, ma le tausisia.

Na faaopoopo mai e Guillaume Halleux, Ofisa Sili o uta i le Qatar Airways Cargo: “O maa Lithium e tele sona sao i lo tatou olaga i aso taitasi, mai meataalo tatou te faatauina mo a tatou fanau, i komepiuta feaveai tatou te faaaogaina i aso uma, ma taavale tatou te aveina, e ta’u mai ai. ni nai faataitaiga. Ae ui i lea, latou te tuʻuina atu foʻi se lamatiaga tele i aso uma mo femalagaiga i luga o le ea ma felauaiga: o se tasi lea na faʻaalia e Qatar Airways ma galue e puipuia i le mea sili e mafai ai. Matou te fiafia e vaʻai i lenei mea ua amata nei ona tupu i kamupani faʻatau oloa i luga o le ea o loʻo ofo fua i lalo o le CEIV Lithium Battery certification.

"O la matou fuafuaga i le taimi nei o le galulue lea ma a matou paaga i le lalolagi atoa, tagata e faʻaaogaina le eleele, tagata faʻasalalau, ma faʻasalalau uta, ina ia faʻamautinoa se malamalamaga mausali ma masani i tulaga lamatia o le faʻanofoina o maa lithium, ma faʻamalosia suiga lelei i le alamanuia," o lana tala lea.

Na unaʻia e Halleux le faʻatonutonu vave ma le faʻatumauina o le faʻaaogaina e uiga i maa lithium i lana tautalaga autu i le World Cargo Symposium i Dublin ia Oketopa 2021. E leʻi umi mulimuli ane, na faʻasalalau e Qatar Airways Cargo le faʻauluina atoa o lana vaʻa 10,000+ ULD i le Safran Cabin's fou faatoa atiaʻe Fire-Resistant Containers (FRC), ua mamanuina e tetee atu i se afi faʻavae lithium mo le 6 itula. E oʻo mai i le taimi nei, ua maeʻa ona suia le 9,000 o ana ULD, e sili atu i le 70% sini na ia faʻatulagaina mo le 2022, ma o le a faʻaauau le fesuiaiga o le faagasologa i le 2023.

O ma'a Lithium o lo'o fa'aaogaina lautele i le tele o oloa fa'atau mai telefonipoto i sikola eletise, ae o a'afiaga e feso'ota'i ma lo latou fa'aogaina ma le fa'ata'avalevale i tagata fa'atau e le o iloa lelei. I le avea ai o se taʻavale fesoʻotaʻiga i le lalolagi atoa ma faʻalapotopotoga tuʻufaʻatasia o pisinisi vaʻalele o mataupu e faʻatatau i Qatar Airways ma Qatar Airways Cargo, o le mea lea o le faʻalauteleina o le faʻalauiloaina o le faʻaogaina o maa Lithium o le a fesoasoani e faʻaleleia le saogalemu i totonu o pisinisi felauaiga i luga o le ea.

O le Center of Excellence for Independent Validators Lithium Batteries (CEIV Li-batt) polokalame faʻamaonia o le a faʻamautinoaina elemene o le sapalai sapalai o loʻo aʻafia i le lafoina o nei maʻa e mafai ona ausia a latou manaʻoga faʻatonutonu. O le CEIV Lithium Battery family o le CEIV sili ona lata mai a le IATA. E ogatasi ma tusipasi tutusa mo le tagofiaina o vailaau, mea pala, ma manu ola.
