General Information
Whether the pet is relocating as
checked baggage or as cargo they will wind up in the same special
area of the cargo compartment (at rear part of the plan), which is pressurized and temperature
controlled.
All animals must be in an IATA* approved container and meet certain
other requirements. It is considered best to have only one animal
per container but the IATA rules state that two animals can share
the same container if the animals are under 14kg (30lbs).
The container must be large enough for the animal(s) to turn around,
stand and sit up.
The container must have a secure all around locking system with the
pins extending beyond the horizontal extrusions above and below the
door.
A water container must be present and must be accessible from
outside the container.
The container must have ventilation on all four sides.
The container must be identified with the pets name and owners
contact information.
You should attach an extra copy of the pets health certificate to
the container.
International pet relocation does
require planning; however, if you follow some simple steps. The most
important thing to remember is that just like with human travel,
pets also need additional documentation in order to relocate to a
new country. It is also important to check with the country of
origin, let them know where you are relocating to, and ask what
documentation you will need for re-entry.
* All (IATA) approved
container are available for sale.
