List of dogs under 6kg accepted in aircraft cabin
Can I bring my dog in the cabin of the aircraft?
When an airline agrees to carry animals in the cabin, it is mostly the dogs under 6 kgs. The maximum weight allowed for an animal varies depending on the airlines.
Their low weight and small size allows them to travel in a small cage that does not encumber the plane. However, the animal transport cage must be IATA approved. Without this certification, it will be denied.
