Before you get a pet
The transport of the pet is handled by the Cargo Department of the airline. You can contact them via 01 4477321.
It is advisable to get your pet ready for flying a few days before the actual flight date. Do not decide to fly with your pet on short notice as it could be difficult for the airline to accommodate accordingly.
The proper paperwork related to vaccinations and quarantines of your pet is required. This paperwork has to be done by a certified veterinarian.
Your pet’s cage must be leak-proof and properly ventilated with absorbent sheeting placed at the bottom of the cage. Your pet must be able to comfortably lie down or sit upright while in the cage.
The cage must be correctly labeled with the contact details of the owner or person responsible for the pet.
The airline does not accept pets that are more than six weeks pregnant. For pets who are under six weeks pregnant, a veterinary certificate is required.
Pets that are less than 2 weeks old are also not accepted.
The airline only allows two pets per passenger.
Buddha Air will only take your pet into the cargo hold as the departure time nears and place the cage in a suitable compartment. In case of any delays, rerouting or cancellations, the airline will inform the owner. Please note that the airline will not be responsible for providing water and food to your pet.
The next time you fly with your pet on a Buddha Air flight, be sure to adhere to all the procedures and follow the tips. This will make a memorable and comfortable journey for you and your pet.
