Wooden Boxes - coming October 2008

.. British Airways in a recent press release to the air cargo services industry, and its forwarder agents indicated the implementation in October 2008 of the requirement for the usage of 1/2 inch plywood in the construction of wooden boxes for pet travel.

..comments from the members of various pet travel associations were numerous and often carrying a message of humor ... from England came Nigel Hurst indicating he and his colleagues were heading off to the fitness center to be able by the fall of next year to lift these heavyweight boxes.

.. British Airways came back to say the old fashioned plastic containers would be acceptable for pet transportation.

.. we look forward to continuing developments in the area of wood vs plastic .. stay tuned .
