Intradco provides VIP (very import pig) treatment for four-legged passengers

[ September 1, 2025   //   ]

The Intradco Global animal transport arm of broker Chapman Freeborn moved 1,200 breeding pigs from Denmark to the Philippines on a full charter of a B747-400F freighter.

A range of specialist solutions were deployed to ensure the pigs travelled safely, hygienically, and with a minimum of distress including custom-built wooden crates equipped with extra watering systems.

Special care was taken when getting the animals into these crates, including the use of Intradco’s purpose-built “pig lift”, a converted van that allows the animals to transfer from lorries into their crates without having to walk up steep ramps.

Chapman Freeborn is a member of Avia Solutions Group, the world’s largest ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance) provider.
