Travelling with Animals

You are here: Home / At The Airport / Travelling with Animals

Passengers wanting to travel with animals should consult their airline or travel agent to make plans before arriving at Malpensa Airport. No animals will be transported by air without prior arrangements. Numerous airlines specialise in transporting animals.

Passengers must check with the country of destination if any health certificates or documents, and/or quarantine, are required prior to travel.

Travel Regulations for Animals

  • Animals will be required to have all up-to-date vaccines before travelling by air.
  • All dogs and cats travelling within the EU must be identified by electronic microchip.
  • All dogs and cats travelling by air require an EU passport.
  • For travel outside the EU, vaccinations and quarantine conditions as set out by the destination country apply.

Travel Containers for Pets

Animals must travel in adequate crates, which are strong enough to prevent them from escaping and ensure there is no chance of damage to the crate in transit. You will need to check with the airline for crate specifications and dimensions. You can buy containers from most airlines specialising in animal transportation.

Sedatives for Stress

Prior to making any trips with pets, it is worth consulting your vet to ascertain if there is a possibility of using sedatives on the animal prior to the trip, as this will help to reduce stress.

More Information

Key websites offering additional information about air travel with animals include:

Ireland: www.agriculture.gov.ie

Sweden: www.jordbruksverket.se

United Kingdom: www.defra.gov.uk

Travelling with an animal by air should only be considered as a last resort as it can be stressful for the animal. Animals generally travel in the hold, not in the cabin with you. Some airlines do not permit travel for certain types of dogs and cats. Snub-nosed animals are prone to respiratory problems and may be affected by pressure changes that occur during all flights.
