Flying horses with Emirates Sky Cargo
Animal cargo from the United Arab Emirates lands with Emirates in the UK to honour the Queen
Two Emirates SkyCargo special freighter charters have touched down in the UK in the last few days. Aboard they had the cargo of over 100 horses, the first shipment containing 70 horses. The horses of the Royal Cavalry of Oman were flown from the capital Muscat to London Stansted on the carrier’s Boeing 777 freighter aircraft for the Diamond Jubilee Pageant, which takes place from 10th-13th May at Windsor Castle. The Diamond Jubilee Pageant is a major event to pay tribute to 60 years of the Queen’s reign.
The horses were transported under veterinary surveillance in custom-built IATA-certified horse stalls, which can each carry up to three horses. The complete movement of the 112 horses from stable to stable was organised by Equitrans Logistics LLC, a leading horse-shipping agent in the Gulf region. The charter also marked the first ever UK touchdown for and Emirates SkyCargo Boeing 777F aircraft.
