Live Animal Transportation by Air – Safe, Compliant, Compassionate
Transporting live animals by air requires more than logistics – it requires care, expertise, and strict compliance with global regulations. At Trans Airfreight, we take this responsibility seriously, ensuring every animal travels safely, humanely, and in accordance with the IATA Live Animals Regulations (LAR).
Whether you’re shipping pets, zoological specimens, or livestock for agricultural purposes, our team is trained to handle your cargo with the highest standards of welfare and professionalism.
Why Choose Trans Airfreight for Live Animal Transport?
We provide end-to-end support for the airfreight of live animals – from preparation and documentation to final delivery – ensuring a smooth, stress-free experience for both the animals and their owners.
Our process is designed to meet the IATA LAR, the global standard for live animal transport by commercial airlines. These regulations ensure that animals are handled with compassion and care every step of the way.
Key Animal Handling Protocols Include:
- Spacious containers that allow animals to stand, turn, sit, and lie down comfortably
- Sufficient ventilation for proper airflow
- Absorbent material inside containers to maintain hygiene
- Water and feeding bowls included with every container and securely fitted
- Proof of vaccination must be provided
- Animals must be at least 8 weeks old to travel
- Containers must display IATA “Live Animals” labels and “This Way Up” stickers on all four sides
Compliance with these regulations is not optional – it’s the minimum requirement to ensure the safety, comfort, and well-being of all live animals in transit.
