InstoneAir has been working closely with Luck Greayer Bloodstock Shipping, combining its bloodstock transportation expertise to support the world’s most valuable horse race, The Saudi Cup, which takes place in Riyadh this month and offers prize money of US$20m.
The first competitors arrived in Saudi Arabia on board a Kalitta Air B747 chartered by InstoneAir for flights from Los Angeles and Fort Lauderdale. The flights represent the first outings for InstoneAir’s new European Aviation Safety Agency certified collapsible Airstables, which combine high standards of equine safety and comfort with improved cost efficiencies for the repositioning of empty Airstable horse stalls.
Working closely in partnership with Saudia Cargo, InstoneAir and LG have also been entrusted with moving elite racehorses from London Stansted, Shannon, Liège, Dubai and Hong Kong in readiness for the race on February 29.
