Live Animals & Pets

The acceptance of live - animal consignments is subject to the conditions  described in the IATA's Live Animals Regulations and to TG's Regulations which are closely related to the type of animals, type of aircraft, temperature at origin, en-route and destination, and availability of animal attendant. The conditions applicable to acceptance of live animals are as follows:

b.    Packing: Packing must be clean, leak-proof and escape-proof to allow safe handling during carriage. A special "Live Animals" label shall be affixed with  complete handling instructions
c.     Food and additional articles:  Additional articles such as food accompanying the shipment must be included in the chargeable weight and, if being shipped as separate pieces, marked as forming part of the shipment.
d.    Reservations: Confirmation must be  received in order to   reserve space on flights and all possible connecting flight(s) of other airlines up to the airport of destination.
