Don’t let the term ‘cargo’ mislead you – your pet won’t be on a special freight plane. They’ll be traveling on regular passenger aircraft, typically in the same area as accompanied pets. What sets cargo apart is the specialized handling and documentation process, which we navigate seamlessly on your behalf. At ANIMAL AIRWAYS, we’re experts in managing the complexities of cargo pet travel. We work closely with top cargo companies to handle all the intricate details, from issuing the air waybill (your pet’s ‘flight ticket’) to coordinating with customs at both origin and destination.
Our service shines in situations where you need to fly before or after your pet, when your destination country mandates cargo entry, or when airline policies require it. We ensure every aspect of your pet’s journey complies with IATA (International Air Transport Association) regulations, guaranteeing the highest standards of care and safety. Our team expertly handles all cargo-specific requirements and documentation, coordinates with freight terminals for smooth drop-off and pick-up, and assists with customs procedures at both ends of the journey. We carefully select appropriate flights and routes for your pet and provide guidance on preparing your pet for their solo adventure.
We understand that cost is an important factor in your decision. While pet cargo shipments are typically more expensive than accompanied travel, we work diligently with our cargo partners to find the most cost-effective solutions without compromising on quality or care. Costs can vary based on factors like destination, crate size, and specific airline requirements, but we always strive for transparency in our pricing. We’ll work with you to find the best balance between cost and service for your pet’s unique travel needs.
