When you’re shipping animals: Live/td.

Imagine: A lioness needs to get from a zoo in France to a refuge in South Africa. Or, a large shipment of sensitive tropical fish has to get from Indonesia to New York in good condition. In both cases, you need fast, individual and safe transportation. And in both cases, the answer is
Live/td by Lufthansa Cargo.

Live/td offers species-appropriate transportation of all animals that can be legally shipped. The handling and transportation processes of our Competence Center Animals are tailored for the special needs of each species and shipment. They fully comply with the strict requirements of the IATA Live Animals Regulations (LAR) and the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). That means live animals travel under the best possible conditions with Lufthansa Cargo.

And that’s not all: Our worldwide logistics network offers fast flight connections to some 300 destinations in more than 100 countries. We get your living cargo to their destination by the fastest route.

A pleasant journey.
