Air Transport Services Group, Inc. announced on Dec 9, 2013 that it agreed to acquire a 25 percent equity interest in West Atlantic. In 2014, ATSG’s subsidiary Air Transport International (ATI) was cited by the USDA for several violations of the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) during a December 2014 transport of monkeys destined for laboratories in the United States. According to federal inspectors, the airline failed to provide the animals with food and water for more than 24 hours and transported the animals in insecure crates. In July of 2014, ATI was cited for failing to provide food and water for monkeys for more than 32 hours and for transporting the animals in unsafe cages which left to one monkey bloodied with several cuts on his face. PETA has criticized the airlines calling the transport of monkeys to laboratories a “bloody industry”. ==Subsidiaries== * Airborne Global Solutions * ABX Air - Cargo airline * Air Transport International - Cargo airline * Airborne Maintenance & Engineering Services (AMES) - Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul (MRO) * Cargo Aircraft Management * LGSTX Services 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Air Transport Services Group」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
