service

SHARJAH, 1st October, 2023 (WAM) -- Sharjah Airport's Cargo Centre completed its preparations for handling horse
shipments, in line with the efforts of Sharjah Airport Authority to boost the ef ciency of air cargo operations,
particularly while handling cargo that requires special attention.

These preparations are made to ef ciently meet the speci c 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 oorings, 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) certi cation, which re ects its dedication to ensuring the highest safety and security
