Beginning Sunday Jan. 6, Nat Geo Mundo will air four specials highlighting the challenges faced by the world’s biggest air transport operations like shipping nine juvenile elephants, race horses for competition, 251 pigs, millions of flowers, limes and mangos for a Japanese holiday, and 29 flamingos across the Atlantic Ocean. The first special to air will be Volando a un Nuevo Hogar on Jan. 6 at 8pm, followed by Doble Apuesta on Jan. 13 at the same time, Alimentos de Altura on Jan. 20, and El Vuelo del Flamenco on Jan 27. These cargos will be taken to US cities including Miami, LA, New York and internationally like Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Namibia and Japan.
