Sep 24, 2007 (newstodate): Denmarks' Billund Airport has been selected as the point of embarkation for a massive live animals airlift operation to Russia.
Behind the operation is Dan-Invest that plans to send 20,000 pigs from Denmark to Russia's Krasnodar and Tambov Regions.
Originally slated to be launched from October and continuing into 2008 with weekly or even twice-weekly freighter flights, depending on the eventual choice of aircraft type, the operation has, however, been postponed by one month due to delays in completion of the farms in Russia that will receive the animals.
