Unlike standard cargo, each movement must be planned around the needs of the animals, with careful consideration given to aircraft suitability, loading arrangements, documentation, welfare requirements and coordination between teams at origin, destination and throughout the journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis was a very special movement and a strong example of what can be achieved when specialist teams work closely together across the group,\u201d said Latha Narayan, President APAC at Chapman Freeborn. \u201cProjects of this nature require more than aircraft capacity alone. They rely on trust, detailed planning, specialist knowledge and continuous coordination to make sure every stage of the operation is handled with care. For our Asia Pacific team, this operation also reflects the importance of combining regional market understanding with global specialist capabilities. By working closely with Intradco Global, we were able to support a complex live animal movement with the care, agility and expertise required.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"252\" src=\"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chapman-Freeborn-Mongolian-horses-main-edit.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35987\" style=\"width:260px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chapman-Freeborn-Mongolian-horses-main-edit.jpg 400w, https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chapman-Freeborn-Mongolian-horses-main-edit-300x189.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The movement carried added significance as part of a wider bilateral initiative, with some of the horses returning after several years and new horses travelling onward as part of the rotation. The operation also reunited members of the animal care team involved in the original movement, bringing continuity and experience to a highly sensitive project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHorse movements are among the most sensitive live animal transport projects, and every detail matters,\u201d said Charlie McMullen, CEO \u2013 Intradco Global. \u201cFrom preparation to loading and arrival, our priority is always the welfare of the animals and the smooth delivery of the operation. We are pleased to have contributed our specialist live animal logistics experience to this complex movement.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The operation highlights Chapman Freeborn Group\u2019s ability to combine global air charter capabilities with Intradco Global\u2019s dedicated live animal transport expertise, supporting complex and sensitive movements where safety, welfare and operational precision are critical.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapman Freeborn Group has supported a specialist live animal charter operation moving 121 Mongolian horses between Ulaanbaatar and Hanoi, delivered through close collaboration between Chapman Freeborn\u2019s Asia Pacific team and Intradco Global, its specialist live animal transport brand.
