Animal welfare and regulatory compliance are at the heart of every movement we arrange

IATA-compliant livestock equipment — built for safety and welfare

Livestock travels in airline-approved or partner-rented livestock ULDs, crates, or modular pens designed specifically for safe animal movement. Every unit meets IATA requirements and provides:

Non-slip, shock-absorbing flooring
Secure partitions to prevent injury
Proper airflow and ventilation
Space appropriate to species, size, and group composition
Access points for in-flight monitoring, feed, and water

All livestock units are cleaned, inspected, and disinfected before every flight to ensure a safe, compliant, and welfare-focused environment.
