Please read the information below as well as the requirements for transporting animals to make sure this service is right for you.
Animals have been transported by air since the early 1930's.
Whether it be a pet, an animal transported for pet relocation, zoological or agricultural purposes or for any other reason, the objective of REX is to ensure ALL animals are transported safely and humanely by air. REX Animal Regulations (RAR) is developed to ensure our employees, partners and subcontractors use all their means to meet this objective.
Air freight shipments must meet specific government security requirements before being transported on passenger or cargo aircraft. Contact REX for further details regarding the shipment of animals.
Advance arrangements are required
All animal shipments must comply with IATA Live Animal regulations:
The container must be suitable for the species being transported and appropriate for air transportation. Cargo will be inspected to ensure that it complies with packaging requirements.
The animal must be able to stand, turn and lie down in a natural manner (this rule will vary by species)
The container must be leak-proof, and absorbent bedding that is suitable for the species must be provided by the shipper.
Food and water containers suitable for the species being transported, must be provided inside and accessible from outside the container
Shipping kennels for cats and dogs are available for purchase at REX directly.
Shipper must comply with all local, state, federal and international regulations.
Shipper must obtain the appropriate documentation required for the species being transported. A Health Certificate issued by a licensed veterinarian not more than ten days prior to flight departure for the outbound and return trip, unless otherwise specified is a regular standard.
Weather conditions may affect the transportation of animals. Shippers will be required to confirm cargo reservations no more than 24 hours prior to flight departure.
For international transport, customers must contact the appropriate consulate office for the country of origin and destination. Certain countries prohibit the importation of animals as cargo, other countries require permits be obtained in advance of any shipment.
