Flying camels
Hi , I was wondering about the costs of flying camels into the Middle
East from Australia 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 Im not yet concerned with the legal requirements , but was wondering if large second hand planes , could be practicle cost wise At what level it may become profitable , assuming camels weigh 500 kg , and have a relatively low value , could it be profitable if larger numbers and cheaper planes were taken into account , on a regular basic I know horses can be fly around the globe , so welfare of the Animals should be no problem Hundreds of camels every week are potentially available in central Australia , with airstrips , and a market does exist in several countries , for quality young camels , Australian camels are considered disease free by most countries , and in particular for use in emergency where roads have been cut by natural disasters I see a potential to land hundreds of live camels on short notice as a possible opportunity as well , with considerable benefit to all concerned The costing of a permanent weekly flight is beyond my expertise , and yes I will need to do my own checking in greater detail , but do you have any ideas ??? Can you " guesstimate" what it may cost , so I can work out if the market is able to make it pay , I assume we would be using non commercial air strips into semi rural air strips once it was set up so costs may be saved on landing charges Camels would take time to muster but assume we could deliver as many as 500 per week for the purpose of costing air transport , loading and unloading in an hour kanga ===== |
