New animal Ark Terminal at JFK opens
THE first phase of a new animal terminal in New York's JFK International Airport has opened with the centre due to become fully operational in the summer.
Phase one of the Ark terminal, which has started operations includes the Ark Pet Oasis, Equine and Livestock Export Centre and Aviary In-Transit Quarantine, London's Air Cargo New reported.
The Ark at JFK Equine and Livestock Export Centre provides resting stalls for horses and livestock departing JFK International Airport. The In-Transit Aviary Quarantine provides isolation rooms in a bonded warehouse, enabling commercial shippers to schedule several hours to overnight rest stops for birds travelling through the US.
The second phase, which is due to open during the second quarter of the year, will include a full-service ARK Import-Export Centre (IEC) featuring Equine Quarantine/Import, Grooms' Lounge and The ARK Aviary.
The third phase, due to open in the summer, will feature sub-tenants providing veterinary clinics, a blood laboratory and pet boarding and grooming.
Founder and chairman of ARK Development/The ARK at JFK John Cuticelli said: "Four years ago, we embarked on this process to address the unmet needs for the import and export of companion, sporting and agricultural animals at JFK International Airport.
"Our goal is to create a more efficient and safe process by reducing the need for additional travel and offering trained animal care staff immediately pre- and post-flight. The ARK provides a healthy and comfortable environment, and sets new international airport standards for comprehensive veterinary, kennelling and quarantine services."
