Live Animals

Dogs and cats deserve the comfort and attention we give to our passengers. the cargo compartments is our aircraft are tempeture controlled and pressurised, ensuring that your pet travels under the best possible climate conditions.

Travelling in comfort

Our pet will make its journey in a compartment of the aircraft wich as well ventilated and has carefully controlled temperature and pressure to provide optimum traveling conditions.

To make sure that the journey itself is as comfortable as it can be for your cat or dog, it will travel is a specially designed 'sky kennel'. These sky kennels are made of plastic with a built-in iron door (plastic doors are not permitted). Door hinges and locking pins must extend beyond the horizontal extrusions above and below the door opening by at least 1.6 cm (5/8 in). Kennelsnot meeting teh IATA requirements as mentioned above will not be accepted.

You can buy kennels at various animal speciality shops.

It is very important that you choose the correct size of kennel. It must be large enough for you pet to stand and sit straight, to comfortably turn around and to lie down in a natural position. For ultimate protection and the well-being of your pet is essential not to choose a kennel that is too large. the diagram shows the dimensions that you should take into account when selecting a kennel.

Important:

Once more we want to emphasize it is very important that you correctly measure the dimension of your dog. Our handling staff will check whether your purchased the right size kennel when delivering your dog at the airport. if the kennel is too small the handling agent willnot accpet the pet for transportation. if you want to ship your cat you are advised to purchase a type A kennel (see overview).

Very important information about snub-nosed dogs

For snub-nosed dogs we advise you to purchase a kennel 1 size larger than normally required. this because these dogs are susceptible to increased risk of breathing problems when exposed to stress. Travelling in a larger kennel provides the dogs more axygon and reduces the risk of breathing problems.

Depemdig on the regulations of the destinations country, a full-grown cat or dog should travel alone in a kennel. kittens and puppies are an exception and may be allowed to travel together. Note this depends on the regulations of the country of destinations.
