In a third and final airlift, 70 pregnant dairy cows will be airlifted from Shannon to Kosovo tonight. The airlift has been organised by Irish charity Bothar, which means 'road' and brings to 210 the number of cattle which will have been airlifted to the Balkan country.
During the conflict in Kosovo 50% of the cattle in the country were killed. The animals for tonight's airlift were assembled in Roscrea Co. Tipperary and were donated by individuals, famers and schools from around the country. The animals will be donated to families who have spent several months in training for their new roles and who have undertaken to donate the offspring to other needy families.
Air Charter Express of Ghana are performing the airlift using Dc8-62AF registered 9G-AED named 'Team Spirit' pictured above landing on R24 yesterday afternoon.
