18 giraffes from South Africa to Brazil
Intradco Global and its parent company Chapman Freeborn have worked together on a charter flight to transport 18 giraffes from O.R. Tambo International Airport (JNB) to Río de Janeiro Galeão Airport (GIG).
Averaging 4.3-5.7 m when fully grown, the animals were transported while still young to ensure they had the legally required head clearance in the 2.95 m high crates, which were made of metal and plywood to make them both sturdy and leak-proof.
Intradco Global and Chapman Freeborn ensured the giraffes’ speedy loading to reduce the time spent on the ground at the airport. After arriving in Rio de Janeiro, cranes were used to efficiently offload the six crates, each containing three giraffes, from the 747F aircraft. (cj)
