Akasa Airline is set to allow pets

India’s New Airline, Akasa Airs, Is Set To Pets In Cabin And Cargo

| October 8, 2022 | Trip ideas

India’s latest new airline, on flights Akasa Air, began its operation in August of this year. And will be onboarding our furry little friends in November. The CEO and co-founder of the airline, Belson Coutinho, spoke to reporters about this. He said, “Domesticated dogs and cats can travel from November, and the bookings in this regard will start from October 15.”

But the catch is animals weighing less than seven kg are allowed in the cabin. So heavier dogs will be traveling in the cargo area. 

Specific conditions need to be updated while traveling with pets on a plane, as said by Dr. Sanjiv Rajadhyaksha. Certain points need checking, and as he mentioned, they are. 

  • You must check your pet with the vet to ensure they are fit for air travel. 
  • The airline must maintain proper air pressure in the cabin and the cargo compartment with adequate oxygen and temperature for the pets. 
  • If the pets are to be kept in the cargo area, ensure the crates are big and have enough space to move around. 
  • Ensure your pet is properly vaccinated and sedated if traveling with you in the cabin. 
  • Avoid bringing pets prone to lung or heart disease. They might not feel well during the flight.
