Is the agony of leaving your beloved pet behind at a pet crèche making you feel jittery? Leave that worry aside now! You can now take the pet along with you without fearing any travel hassles related to handling and fulfilling regulatory clearance procedures. Delhi International Airport Private Limited (DIAL) has now become the first airport operator in India to launch Pet Travel Information and Facilitation Desk - ‘Pet Fly’ at Terminal-3, IGI Airport.
DIAL, CEO, I Prabhakara Rao, said, "Being pioneer in India for introducing unique experiences to our passengers, DIAL wanted to take a step further by ensuring better and professional facility for the comfortable journey of your pet."To send the pet a passenger has two options- either the pet can be sent through cargo or it can be booked on excess baggage ticket with the airline. For latter, the pet owner can visit the 'Pet Fly' desk, which will facilitate pet owner in seeking clearance from the airline, accommodate pet in a kennel of appropriate size and get it checked-in as excess baggage. The kennel is then scanned through X-ray machine before passenger boards the flight with their loved one. For international departures and arrivals, clearance from Customs Department and Animal Quarantine Office is required.
