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.
