Why airline selection matters for live animals
Choosing the wrong airline creates real problems from last-minute rejections to poor welfare conditions during transit. Every airline has different policies and not all are publicly documented.
What varies by airline
- Breed acceptance lists — particularly for brachycephalic and restricted breeds
- Maximum temperatures at origin, transit and destination airports
- Animal lounge and handling facilities at hub airports
- Embargo periods — seasonal or permanent on specific routes
- Container size and construction requirements
- Advance booking requirements
