Air India Pet Policy HELPFUL TIPS - TRAVELING BY AIR WITH YOUR PET HEALTH CERTIFICATE Air India requires a certificate of good health indicating that the pet is healthy enough for travel, is free of diseases communicable to humans and has been properly vaccinated. INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL If you are traveling to another country the airline will want to see that you have the proper documents to enter that country with your pet. Most countries have their own version of a veterinary certificate sometimes called a Zoo Sanitary Certificate. In addition some countries require an import permit. HOT AND COLD WEATHER RESTRICTIONS When runway temperatures are above 84 degrees at the departure airport the airline may refuse to board the pet in the cargo (checked baggage) section of the aircraft. When the weather is very cold with a runway temperature below 45 degrees at the time of departure the airline may require what is called an acclimation certificate SMALL PETS - IN CABIN TRAVEL Small cats and dogs and sometimes small birds are allowed to travel in the cabin of the aircraft on many Air India flights that go via Paris. The pet must be small enough to fit in an approved under the seat carrier. Each airline has different rules regarding pets in the cabin. LARGER PETS - IN CHECKED BAGGAGE OR CARGO If your pet is too large to fit under the seat or if it is a very long flight the airline may transport your pet in the cargo section of the aircraft. This section of the cargo department has the same temperature and pressure as the passenger cabin. TIP: Be sure to tell the aircraft's cabin that you have a pet in cargo so that he can be sure to keep the temperature at the proper level. If your pet is traveling in the cargo section, sometimes referred to as check baggage it must be in a pet crate that is APHIS/IATA compliant. MORE TIPS FOR PET AIR TRAVEL 1.
