So far in 2019, we have achieved a four-fold increase in a number of charter flights with heifers and hope that will be able to contribute to this sector more in the months to come,” said Sergey Lazarev, general director of AirBridgeCargo Airlines. “A successful formula for the organization of such long-haul flight with live animals lies in the combination of expertise and experience of our ‘abc care’ team’ and operational capabilities of our unique Boeing 747-8 freighter. This helps us in improving our services and mitigating the risks. No matter how experienced and qualified our specialists are, with every flight we deepen our knowledge and learn from our experience, as each transportation is unique. “We treat animals not like special cargo, but rather as very sensitive passengers who require extra care and attention. Additional support was provided by the groom who made sure that all the cows felt safe and secure. The animals were grouped in 27 cow stalls, each securely stowed and lashed on the maindeck of Boeing 747-8F and flew more than 17,182 kilometers during 19 hours 45 minutes to its final destination.ĭuring the whole flight, ABC flight crew made sure the internal temperature has been maintained in accordance with the required guidelines, within the range from 6 ☌ to 10 ☌. The request would have been reviewed as a normal one were it not for the routing, with flight originating in Houston (USA) and final point in Bangkok (Thailand). AirBridgeCargo Airlines (ABC) has organised a complex charter flight for 146 heifers using its ‘acb care’ product which was carried out in partnership with ABC’s long-lasting partner Intradco Global.
