NZB Airfreight Now Flying UK to Australia

As of November this year New Zealand Bloodstock Airfreight will begin monthly transportation of horses from the United Kingdom to Australia.

With an established reputation for providing first-class service for flights between Australia and New Zealand, NZB Airfreight will now apply their expertise to a service between the two hemispheres, as NZB Airfreight Manager Greg Northcott explains.

“We have a well-established client base in both Australia and New Zealand from over 50 years of flying between the two countries,” commented Northcott. “We are seeing more and more horses travelling from Europe to Australia and this is an opportunity for us to meet the needs of our existing customers.

“We take immense pride in the quality customer care we offer and NZB Airfreight’s Australian Operations representative Josh Murphy will be able to guide any clients through the whole process.”

Flights will leave from Heathrow Airport in London and fly to Sydney starting in November before transferring to Melbourne in December as quarantine facilities change.

Prior to departure, horses will enter the quarantine centre based in Sussex which is handily located close to Heathrow Airport.

Flying out of Heathrow Airport will also allow NZB Airfreight to service all of Europe with the team able to organise the logistics of getting a horse based anywhere in Europe to the United Kingdom and then safely on to Australia.

Renowned in Australasia for their customer service, the NZB Airfreight team will offer the same all-encompassing experience to Europe-based horses. They will look after everything including all health and vaccination requirements, customs clearances and GST implications.

NZB Airfreight has built their reputation on superior customer service, flying horses to and from Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore, catering to every requirement whether the horse is a million-dollar yearling, a Group 1 winning racehorse or any other equine requiring a flight. 

If you have a horse you wish to book on NZB Airfreight’s first flight leaving Heathrow Airport in November please contact NZB Airfreight as soon as possible so they can ensure vaccination and quarantine requirements can be met in time.
