Live Animals

Outside air temperature: The higher the air temperature, the more time is required to cool the cargo compartment prior to loading animals

• Quantity, size and type of animal cargo: These factors affect the heat load, moisture and CO2 in the cargo compartment
• Airplane environmental system configuration: APU and air conditioning performance are affected by the ambient air temperature
• Condition of airplane prior to loading animals: Heat soak and preconditioning the cargo compartment both affect the amount of the time required to reach the desired temperature
• Time on ground with loaded cargo: The longer the time that the airplane is on the ground with loaded live animal cargo, the longer the airplane will be required to cool the cargo compartment to a desired temperature
  • CAL Advantage: Across our entire chain our fleet is parked right on the “waterline”, just in front of our warehouse (10-30meters) meaning animals are exposed to very minimal temperature and environmental deviations.

•  Animal packaging and stocking densities: The longer the time on the ground and the duration of flight, the lower the recommended density of animals in the cargo compartment.
  • CAL Advantage: We offer daily flights from EU-US-EU, reducing ground and flight time

• Horse stalls & collapsible horse stalls
• Customized shipping systems for live animals are available based on special request.
