Shipments of animals by air: procedures and safety standards
Usually, the concern affecting mostly whoever has and unconditional love for dogs, cats, ferrets & co. is the one relating to their travel condition inside the hold of the airplane. Our priority is to respect the health, well-being and peace of mind of “furry (and unfurry) passengers”; our team of collaborators and our caring and professional partners have been accurately selected and are all able to understand the specific needs of the animals and those of their owners during the air journey and, moreover, are in a position to always take the appropriate measures during the shipping procedure.
We provide services for air transportation and shipment of animals, which strictly comply with the IATA safety regulations. The “four-legged passengers” are loaded in the pressurized and air-conditioned holds, inside their pet carriers, which comply with the standards set by IATA (International Air Transportation Association).
