The horse is a majestic but fragile animal: long-distance air transport demands carefully designed fittings and meticulous attention throughout the flight. Excell’Jets supports riders and professionals in bringing their horses safely to destination in the best possible conditions.
Why transport a horse by private plane?
- Comfort: a specially fitted aircraft (individual stalls) carries the animal in optimal conditions.
- Speed: a far shorter journey than by road, reducing stress and fatigue.
- Dedicated crew: an accompanying groom and cabin staff watch over the horse throughout the flight.
- Adjusted price: operator competition secures the best rate for your equine transport.
Air transport of horses: what conditions?
Private individuals and professionals alike may need to fly a horse across the world: a race or show, breeding with a pre-selected stallion on another continent, an international sale. Equine air transport cannot be improvised and requires deep expertise to guarantee the physical and mental well-being of the animal. Importing or exporting an animal of this size is also governed by precise regulations that vary by country.
The flight team ensures the administrative file is in order:
- French Equestrian Federation passport for sport horses.
- Up-to-date health record and vaccination list.
- All import/export formalities for the planned itinerary.
