AirBridgeCargo Airlines (ABC), one of the leading all-cargo carriers in live animals’ transportations, has completed two Boeing 747 charter flights from Europe to Kuwait, Western Asia, delivering 355 heifers and 10 bulls to their new home.
The flights organized from Liege (Belgium) and Leipzig (Germany) to Kuwait City have been masterminded by ABC’s European AVI team in cooperation with Air Cargo Consultants and Intradco Global and aimed to support livestock programmes in Kuwait.
Diana Schoeneich, Senior Director European Region of AirBridgeCargo Airlines, highlights: ‘Delivering cattle is a high-profile assignment. Although with the right specialists, capable fleet, and reliable partners, we were able to organize both flights in line with the industry standards and the animals’ well-being in mind. Despite severe weather conditions in both origin airports with heavy snow and wind, the flights were operated intact, and we were happy to see heifers and bulls arriving at their final destination safely and healthy’.
