SHARJAH, 1st October, 2023 (WAM) -- Sharjah Airport’s Cargo Centre completed its preparations for handling
horse shipments, in line with the efforts of Sharjah Airport Authority to boost the efficiency of air cargo
operations, particularly while handling cargo that requires special attention.

These preparations are made to efficiently meet the specific requirements for handling such cargo and ensure
seamless facilities for accompanying horsemen to complete procedures to transport horses within the country or
abroad. The move coincides with the beginning of the local and international horse racing and equestrian festival
season.

The Cargo Centre at Sharjah Airport offers top-notch facilities and innovative logistic solutions to facilitate the
transportation of purebred horses through the airport.

The amenities include a dedicated stable on-site that guarantees easy access for the horses and their companions.
In addition, the stable will be equipped with customised floorings, like Astroturf, that allow easy movement for
horses.

Sharjah Aviation Services (SAS), the ground handling services provider at Sharjah Airport, offers these
amenities through its specialised team. The exceptional services of SAS have been recognised with the IATA
Safety Audit for Ground Operations (ISAGO) certification, which reflects its dedication to ensuring the highest
safety and security standards while handling all cargo.

Customers can visit the Cargo Centre’s website at: https://www.sharjahairport.ae/en/business/cargo-centre/ to
check the status of their shipments through the online schedule or sign up for the airport’s flight tracking service
to receive SMS updates on the status of any cargo flight.
