Cathay Cargo transported around 60 elite showjumpers from Europe to Hong Kong for the Longines Hong Kong International Horse Show on 30 January to 1 February.

Cathay Cargo’s Live Animal solution ensures proper ventilation, space and safety, optimised routing minimises stops and transit time and Center of Excellence for Independent Validators (CEIV) Live Animals certification upholds the highest welfare standards.
Horses benefit from priority ground handling and slow-speed tarmac transfers. In the air, CEIV-certified crew monitor and adjust cargo-hold temperature and airflow, while professional grooms accompany the horses with full access to ensure their welfare throughout the journey.
