Horse Transport by Air

Horse Transport by Air

Equine air transport moves competition, breeding, and sale horses on a schedule built around the horse's welfare and the event calendar, not a commercial freight timetable. Horse transport by air requires stall-configured aircraft, experienced grooms or handlers on board, and flight planning that accounts for the horse's condition throughout the trip. Hogani Jets sources operators with horse-specific aircraft configuration and handling experience.
