• October 1, 2023

SHARJAH, 1st October, 2023 — 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.
