The BUAV has received many messages of support from airlines that are anxious to dissociate themselves from the cruelty and suffering of the international trade in primates. For example:

Malaysia Airlines

Indeed, we would want to be in the list of airlines in the fight against international trade in primates destined for the research industry.

TAP Portugal

We wish your campaign to be successful and that the list of airlines rejecting transportation of these animals grows more and more.

China Airlines

On behalf of China Airlines, we would like to extend our appreciation on your dedication to protect the life of primates from unnatural human interference.

United Airlines

Please know that we do not support the transportation of non-human primates and we would be happy to be placed on the list that bans this practice.
