to provide fast handling horse shipment
service
• 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.
