Getting 36 Alaskan huskies
home from a race

Our experts at ACS Time Critical came to the rescue when one of our cargo charters faced last-minute disruption. Tasked with getting 36 huskies back to Europe from a sled race in Alaska, we’d arranged an aircraft charter to fly them to Seattle, followed by a scheduled flight to Luxembourg. But when the first leg of the journey was diverted and the second leg was delayed by 24 hours, a specialist solution was needed to get the dogs home.

Our Solution

Route: Seattle Paine Field International Airport > Seattle-Tacoma International Airport

Service: Trucking, logistics support

After the huskies had landed at an alternative airport in Seattle, ACS Time Critical arranged a trucking service to drive them across the city for their connecting flight. But once the animals were on the road, we learned the flight had been delayed until the next morning.

Acting quickly, we leveraged our industry contacts to arrange overnight boarding in a pet hotel in Seattle, where the dogs were pampered the night before their flight. We arranged transport to the airport the next day, coordinating multiple handlers and vehicles to ensure the dogs were comfortable throughout.

The huskies arrived in good time for their flight home and departed smoothly.
