The design and construction of your pet's container must conform to IATA standards. The maximum height of the container depends on the aircraft in which your pet will be travelling: 70cm on A350 aircraft, 60cm on A380 aircraft, 101cm on B777 aircraft and 111cm on B787 aircraft.
For a safe and comfortable journey for your pet, the container must:
- Be of the right size. The container should have enough space for your pet to turn about normally while standing, for it to stand and sit erect, and lie in a natural position.
- Be well ventilated. The container must have adequate ventilation on at least three of its sides, with the majority of the ventilation on the upper part of the container.
- Come with food and water containers. Either fixed inside the container or accessible for replenishment from outside the container.
- Be properly secured. To prevent your pet from escaping.
