Animals on board
You can take your pet along on all our routes. A fee is charged for the transport of an animal. For fees for carriage of an animal in cabin or in the cargo section, please refer to the corresponding section below.
Passengers are responsible for obtaining the necessary documents/certificates and health certificates.
Please get the information in time about immigration rules of animals on www.bvet.admin.ch/einfuhr/ . The immigration of dogs and cats from rabies countries (the correspondent list can be found on the homepage) is only allowed with the permission of the Swiss Federal Veterinary Office (SFVO). Without this permission the animals are refused at Swiss customs and have to be brought back to their country of origin.

Animals travelling to these countries may only be checked in as freight.
*The regulations apply only for the import of animals in these countries.
