Container requirements:
The container shown in the image should be utilized in carriage of animals.
All cages must meet the specifications outlined in the IATA Live Animal Regulations. Ensure that the container meets these requirements prior to the day of travel.
One of the most essential things to ensure the safety of your pet is the pet crate, designed to IATA specifications. All crates must meet the specifications outlined in the IATA Live Animal Regulations. It is for you to ensure that the container meets these requirements prior to the day of travel. Always ensure that the crate is large enough for your pet to sit, stand and turn around very comfortably. This means an excess space of at least 3”on all sides and top of the crate too measured with your pet is standing inside!
Basic crate requirements:
Bowls for food and water attached to the door of the crate
Funnel & pipe system, so that the airline can add water in the bowl without having to open the crate door
Absorbent pad / mat at the bottom of the crate
Plastic ties to seal the door of the crate on all four ends
One extra feeding for your dog (dry cat / dog) in a zip lock bag attached to the top of the crate in case of flight delay
Instruction on the crate with pet’s name, photo, basic nature and feeding instructions
24-hours emergency contact of pet owner
Preferable crate with ventilation on all four sides
Avoid crates with top ventilation and openings at the top of the crates
Crates with only clamp locking to be avoided

International:
The weight of the pet along with the container is taken into consideration when charging excess baggage
Weight Concept: The weight of the pet plus container is charged for, whether within the Free Baggage Allowance or not.
