Colombia asks UN aviation agency for global standards to protect pets on planes
Colombia leads a coalition of about 24 countries urging ICAO to create binding global standards for pet air travel safety, addressing risks like ventilation and temperature.
- Colombia has urged the UN aviation organization ICAO to establish international regulations for the air travel of pets to address health and safety concerns during flights.
- This request comes in response to incidents involving the deaths of dogs on two small airlines in South America during 2021 and 2022, as well as the absence of standardized international regulations for pet air transport.
- An increase in pet travel following the COVID-19 pandemic, combined with a rise in pet ownership, has led to higher demand for flights accommodating animals, prompting concerns about ventilation, temperature control, and safe containment.
- Colombia's proposal, supported by about two dozen Latin American and European countries ahead of ICAO's September 23–October 3 assembly, could improve global pet safety on aircraft.
