Route guide

Australia to Europe Live Animal Transport

Exporting animals from Australia to Europe requires navigating Australian export biosecurity requirements alongside European import rules.

The Australia to Europe corridor for live animals

The Australia to Europe route is one of the corridors AVIBooking coordinates regularly. It requires specialist knowledge of available carriers, transit hub conditions and destination import requirements.

Australia's export biosecurity requirements must be met before the animal can depart.

The most common routing is via Dubai on Emirates or via Singapore on Singapore Airlines.

European import requirements vary by country. UK, EU and Swiss requirements differ significantly.

For show dogs travelling from Australia to Europe, advance planning of 6-8 weeks is typically required.
