Caribbean Airlines Cargo shipped 159 dairy cows to Barbados, on two consecutive charter flights out of Miami, operating its B767-300 freighter.
The airline worked closely with veterinary offices and other stakeholders, to ensure compliance and the safe passage of the animals. It also ensured the comfort of the cattle, by housing them in its world class stalls during the flight.
