[27 Oct 2006] /AVIA.RU/
10 beluga dolphins have been delivered by Atlant-Soyuz company's Il-76 from Russia's Vladivostok to Cnina's Dalyan. This complex operation was needed to immediately deliver the animals to their new living place - the Dalyan oceanarium in China.

In the course of the flight an ambient temperature was constantly kept at no less than 16 degrees C in the cargo cabin, with normal atmosphere pressure. All the animals bore the flight calmly. Owing to crew's high professionalism, ten minutes immediately after landing of the plane at an airport an operation began to unload special baths with
mammals.

This is not the first time for the company to transport by air representatives of fauna and flora. Under an international Przhevalsky horses re-introduction plan the Moscow government's air company had delivered to the Mongolian town of Khovd 10 horses of the given species included in the International Red Book.
