Aircraft charter specialist, Air Charter Service, just lately helped to rearrange the transport of an eight-month-old greater kudu, named Linus, from a zoo to his new residence in a conservation space in Chile. The greater kudu is a big woodland antelope, usually discovered all through japanese and southern Africa, and male adults have distinctive spiral antlers that may develop so long as 1.8 metres, though Linus’s aren’t but totally grown, however he’ll profit from his bigger new residence as he grows.
Richard Thompson, President of ACS Americas, commented: “The zoo is a non-profit organisation, and so, in the previous, had at all times used business companies for any animal transport, however Linus’s crate was too tall for this, in order that they contacted ACS for an answer. We needed to have cautious consideration of Linus’s consolation and wellbeing and it was determined that two completely different plane, with a stopover in Miami, could be the most suitable choice. We sourced a Boeing 767 in Memphis with availability for the charter to Miami, and so organized for Linus to be transported by street to Memphis Airport with the veterinarian and our buyer, who have been to journey with Linus all the method to his new residence in Chile.
“His spacious crate was carefully removed from the trailer and loaded onto the aircraft, ensuring his comfort throughout. Upon arrival in Miami, one of our team met up with them all, and she had arranged for Linus to be transported to a USDA-approved facility for an overnight stay, ensuring his comfort, and compliance with quarantine regulations. The following morning, he was chauffeured back to Miami airport and boarded a Boeing 747 bound for Santiago in Chile. Linus arrived at the conservation area, his new home, happy and comfortable and is now thriving there.”
