Responsible Animal Transport Becomes a Core Standard in Air Cargo
The air cargo industry is fundamentally shifting its perspective on live animal transport, moving it from a niche service to a core, standardized capability. Carriers are increasingly investing in specialized facilities, staff training, and welfare-focused procedures to meet higher expectations. This evolution is driven by stricter regulations and a growing demand for ethical and safe transportation for pets, livestock, and exotic animals. Key elements include temperature-controlled environments, veterinary oversight, and adherence to certifications like IATA's CEIV Live Animals. This professionalization ensures animal well-being is a primary consideration in logistics operations.
