Flights of the Flowers: Western Global Airlines flies 100 million farm-fresh flowers to Florida in time for Mother’s Day

Global all-cargo airline delivers 6.9 million kgs. of farm-fresh flowers to U.S.

Florida-based Western Global Airlines, a leading U.S. Certified FAA 121 all-cargo airline with worldwide coverage, is flying to Miami 100 million farm-fresh flowers in time for Mother’s Day. As the No. 1 carrier of Mother’s Day flowers to the U.S., Western Global is operating 76 flower flights between Miami and South America in the weeks before Mother’s Day. The flowers, many of which are exotic rose and carnation variations otherwise unavailable in the U.S., originate primarily with Ecuadorian and Colombian flower growers. Once harvested, the flowers are packed for shipping and swiftly flown by Western Global Airlines’ temperature controlled 747-400 and MD-11 freighter aircraft to Miami International Airport, each carrying more than 1 million flowers.

The arrival of these stunning flowers in Miami sets the stage for creating exquisite, hand-crafted floral arrangements that capture the essence of Mother’s Day. Each bloom, carefully transported and maintained at optimal conditions, ensures that only the freshest and most vibrant flowers are used. Local florists can then transform these premium blooms into breathtaking arrangements, making every bouquet a unique and special gift. The quality and variety of these flowers not only enhance their visual appeal but also ensure they have a longer vase life, allowing them to be enjoyed even longer.
