kangarooistan /peramangk brought next idea :

I was wondering if it may be possible to set up a weekly flight with
several hundred live camels , av 500 kg each, standing 3 meters
tall , , from outback Australia , into Egypt , Pakistan . or such
countries


OK , lets try a bit more specific question

If you wanted to fly regular loads of live camels to the middle east

Which type of air plane would you look at and where wold you start
looking and how much would you expect to pay for a good quality LARGE
work horse type plane with no frills , but reliable ,



There are lots of freighter companies set up to fly racehorses and other
livestock around. They're typically old DC8s but there are a few 747s set
up for it. The middle east is a fertile ground for this activity as the
arabs are into racehorses big time so it should be pretty easy to find a
carier who would be able to accomodate you. Best place to ask is a
thoroughbred horse breeder.
