Navigating the Complexities of Animal Logistics: A Need for Specialized Handling The delicate art of transporting animals

The globalized world we live in has increased the frequency of animal transportation, whether it's pets relocating with their owners, exotic animals being shipped to zoos, or livestock being transported for breeding or consumption. While this global connectivity offers numerous benefits, it also presents significant logistical challenges, particularly at airports.

The unique complexities of animal logistics

Animals, unlike regular cargo, require specialized care and attention throughout their journey. Factors such as temperature, humidity, and noise levels must be carefully controlled to ensure their well-being. Additionally, different species have unique dietary and behavioral needs, which must be accommodated to prevent stress and illness.

The role of AVI handling services

To address these challenges and ensure the safe and stress-free transportation of animals, specialized handling services like those offered by AVI are essential. These services provide a range of solutions, including:

- Dedicated animal handling facilities: Equipped with climate-controlled environments, quarantine areas, and veterinary services.
- Experienced animal handlers: Trained to handle a variety of species, from small pets to large livestock.
- Customizable transportation solutions: Tailored to the specific needs of each animal, including crates, carriers, and vehicles.
- Real-time tracking and monitoring: To ensure the safety and well-being of animals throughout their journey.
- Compliance with international regulations: To facilitate smooth customs clearance and minimize delays.

By partnering with AVI Handling, the PetAirport ARC service, airports can streamline their animal logistics operations, enhance their reputation for animal welfare, and provide a seamless experience for both animals and their owners.

Airlines today will ask the passenger to make a booking, pay for the ticket, and then submit your animal information. They will review the request and tell you if the pets are accepted or not. The passenger may be redirected to the cargo number, if your pet is quite big or outside their normal size, or they will advise they are sorry and cannot authorize the animal. What happens then? The passenger must cancel the flight and buy a new ticket, awaiting the airline refund. This is quite a distress for the passenger and may be looked at as a bad service.

This is why working with the PetDesk is an advantage and financially viable. The passenger will be immediately advised, documents and flight checked, and the purchase is done with the airline partner. A service driven advantage for the airline.

AVI Handling at an airport is similar to a grain of sand stuck in your shoe. It does not affect your daily handling but feels sore when a passenger complains or having trouble with the logistics from the aircraft to the final hands of the owner/passenger.

Developing a strategic PetDesk partnership with the PAN AVI handling service, will eliminate the sandstone and make available top of the line service for the passenger and their pets, both at the Passenger and Cargo Terminal. Make a contact with the AVI handling team of PAN Singapore.
