What methods of transport does Kingfisher Airlines provide for my pet?

Animals can travel in the passenger cabin or be checked as baggage.

Does my pet qualify for travel?

• You must ensure that animals such as dogs, cats, and household birds are properly crated and carried in a container complying with any applicable legal requirements.
• All animals must be accompanied by valid health and vaccination certificates, entry permits, and other documents required by countries of entry or transit, failing which they will not be accepted for carriage.

What are the fees associated with pet transport?

The animal, together with its container and food, may not be included in the free baggage allowance. Instead, it will be charged as excess baggage, for which you will be charged the applicable rate.

What are the kennel requirements?

• Be leak-proof and escape-proof.
• Be properly ventilated, but not allow any part of the animal from protruding outside of the container.
• Provide enough room for the animal to stand and turn around.
• Be made of metal, wood, or a hard plastic/composite.
• Contain absorbent material or litter.
• Have functional handles on the kennel's exterior to prevent tilting and any direct contact with the animals.
• Be closed securely, but not locked.
• Have labels with the words "Live Animal" in letters at least 1-inch tall on the crate's top and on at least one side.
• Have upright arrow labels indicating kennel's correct position.

What health documentation is required?

You should consult your veterinarian and the country or countries to which you are flying to ensure that your animal will comply with all requirements. Contact Kingfisher Airlines about additional health documentation required.

Are there any other restrictions?

Kingfisher Airlines can refuse to transport an animal due to illness, aggressive behavior, poor kenneling, or extreme temperatures at origin, transfer, or destination airports.

What if I am flying with a guide dog?

Guide dogs accompanying passengers with disabilities may be carried free of charge in addition to the normal free baggage allowance, subject to conditions specified by Kingfisher, which are available on request.
