The problem with booking live animal cargo
Booking live animal cargo is not like booking general freight. Airlines treat AVI shipments as a specialist product with separate booking desks, strict advance requirements, breed restrictions, embargo periods and container compliance rules that change by carrier and route.
Most pet relocation companies either spend hours managing these relationships themselves or rely on general freight forwarders who do not specialise in live animals and get the details wrong.
What gets missed
- Airline-specific embargo periods and seasonal restrictions
- Breed-level acceptance policies that vary by carrier
- Advance booking windows
- Container compliance requirements per IATA LAR standards
- Transit hub conditions and layover restrictions
What AVIBooking does
We act as your dedicated AVI booking desk. You send us the route, animal details and travel window. We identify the best available option, confirm the booking and deliver full documentation including the Air Waybill directly to you.
Who this is for
Pet relocation companies, animal exporters, breeders and veterinary services that ship animals internationally on a regular basis. Not private individuals.
