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.

Our university research animals were transported under strict regulations, and Eagle Freight handled every detail precisely. Their understanding of compliance and animal welfare gave us complete peace of mind.
