Traveling with pets: what are the requirements to fly with Nouvelair

Although traveling with pets is increasingly common and there are general rules of international aviation, the first thing to clarify is that the rules for air travel for pets vary with each company. According to the legislation of their respective countries and their own internal rules, before taking the plane, you must be sure to have all the necessary information to know that our animal will be well received on board.

Each airline has its own conditions for carrying animals, and while these conditions are a bit similar, there are some important differences that you should take into account when choosing which to travel with.

This is why it is important to find out about Nouvelair’s pet transport policy, so that you are ready for your next trip with your four-legged friend.
