In 3 weeks, LATAM Cargo transported horses from the US, Colombia, Ecuador, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Mexico and Paraguay on Boeing 767 Freighters.
The horses were taking part in events including dressage, show jumping and eventing.
91 horses were transported to Chile for the international competition and 105 will return to the country of their origin once the competition is over.
Juan Pablo Marquez, Senior Cargo Operations Manager in Chile at LATAM Cargo, says, “For us, it is an honour to be part of this major sporting event that is 'Santiago 2023,' and for equestrian federations to choose us as their trusted option for transporting the horses they will use in the competitions. It is a recognition of our extensive experience in this type of transportation, our logistics, and the specialised personnel that allows us to provide top-level handling to ensure the well-being of these animals. We will continue working to deliver a service with the highest quality standards for our customers.”
The logistics process started 3 months before the event involving the coordination of details including optimal routes, stables, horse teams and professional caregivers.
