Live Animals (Avi)

Live animals may include a variety of species, such as pets, livestock, birds, reptiles, or exotic animals. The AVI category ensures that special care and attention are given to these shipments to ensure the safety, comfort, and well-being of the animals during transportation.

Transporting live animals by air involves adhering to strict regulations and guidelines to guarantee the animals' welfare and compliance with international and national animal transport standards. Airlines and cargo handlers have specific procedures and facilities in place to accommodate live animal shipments, including appropriate ventilation, temperature control, and specialized containers or crates.

Furthermore, specialized staff trained in animal handling and care may be involved in the transportation process to ensure the animals' needs are met. These professionals are responsible for handling the paperwork, ensuring proper documentation, and coordinating with relevant authorities to comply with any health and safety requirements for transporting live animals.

It's important to note that specific regulations and procedures may vary depending on the airline, destination, and the type of animal being transported. If you have specific inquiries or require further information about the transportation of live animals, it is recommended to consult with the airline or cargo handler directly to ensure compliance with the necessary regulations and procedures.

It's important to note that NAC2000 works in collaboration with airlines that do provide air transport services for live animals. In such cases, NAC2000's role would involve ground handling support, ensuring the smooth transition of live animal shipments between the aircraft and the ground facilities.
