Anac opens debate on transporting animals on planes – 07/03/2023 – Panel SA

Anac (National Civil Aviation Agency) opened a sectoral consultation to hear airlines about transporting animals on aircraft.

The procedure for taking animals on the plane follows guidelines from the airlines themselves, but there are cases in which the passenger needs to seek an injunction in court to obtain the right to travel accompanied by an emotional assistance dog for autistic people, for example.

The consultation period is open until April 17.

After receiving the considerations from the companies, Anac will publish an ordinance about the service. The idea is to detail conditions for this type of transport and concepts such as pets and emotional assistance.

The agency claims that there is no regulatory change and that the transport of animals is an additional service, that is, it is up to the airlines to decide whether to carry it out or not, and to price it, in addition to publicizing the rules.

“The transport of animals is considered highly complex, as it involves health issues and affects allergic passengers, for example”, says Anac.
