The South America to Europe corridor for live animals
The South America to Europe route is one of the corridors AVIBooking coordinates regularly. It requires specialist knowledge of available carriers, transit hub conditions and destination import requirements.
Direct AVI services from South America to Europe are limited. Most routings require connection through Madrid or Paris.
LATAM Cargo and Iberia offer the strongest coverage on this corridor particularly for Brazil and Argentina departures.
Colombia is increasingly relevant as a departure point with growing cargo connections to Europe.
European import requirements for animals from South America vary by species and country of origin.
