Sharjah Airport completes preparations to provide fast

handling horse shipment service

Sharjah Airport’s Cargo Centre completed its preparations for handling horse
shipments, in line with the efforts of Sharjah Airport Authority to boost 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 allows 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 cargos.

Customers can visit the Cargo Centre’s website at:

shipments through the online schedule or sign up to the airport’s flight tracking service
to receive SMS updates on the status of any cargo flight.
