MIA lands 97 top European horses to compete in Miami Beach championship
TWO flights carrying 97 horses on their way to the Longines Global Champions Tour in Miami Beach have arrived at Miami International Airport (MIA).
The horses arrived from Leige with a stop-over in Mexico City.
MIA is one of only four points of entry for horses arriving into the US and is one of only two airports with a US Department of Agriculture (USDA) facility equipped for equine quarantine, handling more than 2,000 horses during the high season.
Annually, more than 4,000 tons of live animals transit through MIA, at a total value of more than US$280 million.
"We are honoured to serve as the welcoming point for this global equestrian event," said Miami-Dade aviation director Emilio Gonzalez.
