LATAM Cargo transported over 40 polo horses from South America to Europe

Jun 11, 2020

LATAM Cargo Group carried out a complex operation to transport over 40 polo horses from Buenos Aires, Argentina, to Amsterdam, The Netherlands, in less than two weeks. This trip considers around 26 travel hours.

The Latin American cargo airline applied its expertise through a multidisciplinary team that ensured the horses’ wellbeing at all times. This was achieved by complying with the rigorous procedure offered by ALIVE, animal care included in the company’s product portfolio.

Even though the COVID-19 virus has hindered clients’ ability to find horse workers (required by this service), LATAM Cargo supported its clients and offered an experienced horse worker, known in the air cargo industry for helping out in countless animal and complex-cargo shipments.

More than six teams took part in this delicate transportation; coordination was fundamental in order to satisfy clients’ needs and ensure optimal service from beginning to end. These teams include CCO, COT, Quality Control, Exports, Imports and Sales.

During the following weeks, the company plans on carrying out more charter flights from Chile and Amsterdam. This reflects the importance of LATAM Cargo’s role in connecting Latin America to the world and vice versa.
