The Ministry of Transport refused: the rules for transporting animals on planes will not change
We already wrote that the government asked the Ministry of Transport to revise the rules for transporting animals on airplanes. Citizens turned to the authorities with a request to change the rules: it was an increase to 10 kg of the maximum allowable weight of an animal that can be carried in the cabin. Now it has become known that the Ministry of Transport does not plan to develop additional recommendations on this matter, the ministry believes that this is not required. According to the press service of the department, the transportation of animals on airplanes is regulated by the Federal Aviation Rules and the creation of uniform requirements for airlines on the weight of animals transported in aircraft cabins will only lead to unjustified and excessive regulation.
Now the transportation of pets, birds and service dogs on board the aircraft is carried out by agreement with the airline. Payment is calculated based on the weight and size of the pet, as well as the number of seats at the established baggage rates. An exception is made only for a guide dog that flies with a blind passenger. Airlines can set their own rules for transporting animals on board, taking into account the specifics of the aircraft and the convenience of passengers. Usually, pets weighing no more than 8 kg are allowed on the aircraft cabin, and larger pets are transported in the luggage compartment of the aircraft. These requirements also take into account the fact that when transported in the passenger cabin, the carrier during takeoff, descent and landing, as well as when passing through the turbulence zone, must be placed under the seat in front of the seat. At the same time, the animal, while in the carrier, should be able to lie in a natural position, stand up to its full height and turn 360 degrees.
