Cargolux concludes its "year of the horse"


 

Cargolux handled a record number of live animal transportations in 2018, resulting in a 15.7% increase in its "CV alive" solution, the company’s specialised product designed for the transport of live animals. Within the total amount of live animals flown last year, the number of equines handled by Cargolux surged by 30%, from 2,000 to 2,600 horses.

Horses represent 50% of the total amount of live animals handled. Cargolux uses HMC horse stalls that provide increased stability with a double layer pallet base that reduces the motion felt by the horses, lowering the stress they experience compared to single layer pallets. The carrier’s fleet of purpose-built B747 aircraft are also equipped with multi-zone air-conditioning systems that can be adapted to suit any animal’s environment throughout the flight. (ah)
