On Akasa Air, you can now travel with your pets; bookings open from 15 Oct

Many pet owners postpone their travel plans or struggle to find destinations that will accept their animal friends. In addition to accommodations, traveling with pets can be difficult. However, starting next month, Akasa Air, a new scheduled airline in India, will permit the carriage of domesticated cats and dogs onboard together with passengers.

Domesticated dogs and cats will be allowed to travel starting in November, and reservations in this regard will open up on October 15th, according to Belson Coutinho, co-founder, and CMO, as quoted by PTI. Only tiny animals up to seven kg in weight are permitted in the passenger cabin; larger animals that weigh more than seven kg must fly in the cargo area.

Akasa Air has announced that animals will be allowed on board, making it the second commercial airline in India to allow pet travel. Prior to now, Air India was the only commercial airline in the nation to allow certain types of dogs to fly with passengers.
