Silk Way Airlines is proud to announce the successful transportation of two white whales from an aquarium in Ukraine to their new home in Spain. This extraordinary mission, carried out under difficult circumstances, highlights Silk Way Airlines’ commitment to animal welfare and its ability to transport delicate and complex cargo.
Two whales rescued from an aquarium in Ukraine have been transported to a new location in Spain where they will be provided with the care and conditions necessary for their survival. The mission was planned and coordinated down to the smallest detail, ensuring the safety and well-being of the whales throughout the journey.
Due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, direct transportation was not possible. Therefore, the white whales were first transported from Ukraine to Moldova by land, from where Silk Way Airlines safely transported them to Spain. Silk Way Airlines used its extensive experience in handling special cargo to ensure the whales were transported under optimal conditions. The airline’s dedicated team worked closely with animal care professionals and veterinarians to ensure the whales were healthy and comfortable during the flight. The transportation involved a series of carefully planned steps, including the use of specialized equipment and containers designed to provide a stable and safe environment for the animals. Silk Way Airlines successfully carried out this mission in collaboration with Oceanografic and a group of international animal transporters specializing in marine mammals.
“It is a great honor that we were chosen for this important mission,” said Mustafa Azimov, First Deputy Director of Silk Way Airlines. “Our team’s dedication and experience in handling sensitive and unique cargo ensured the successful and safe transfer of these magnificent creatures. I would like to thank the entire rescue team that participated in this mission, and especially the crew, for their exceptional efforts during takeoff, flight and landing. They made sure that the flight was smooth and stress-free for the animals and ensured safe delivery. This operation was very difficult and responsible, but together we did a laborious job that lasted about three months and was crowned with success. We are very proud to be part of this unique mission to save two cute whales.”
The successful completion of this mission highlights Silk Way Airlines’ ability to handle complex logistics and special cargo deliveries, which in turn strengthens its position as a leading regional air carrier.
