Sharjah Airport Completes Preparations To Provide Fast Handling

Horse Shipment Service

By Editor_wr On Oct 1, 2023

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.
