Sharjah Airport’s Cargo Centre completed its preparations for handling horse shipments, in line with the

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 allows easy movement for horses. Sharjah
