One dog (weighing 5kg or less) or cat will be accepted for carriage on the Jetstream aircraft provided they are carried in an approved pet container (supplied by the passenger), which must be placed, upon boarding, in the hand luggage stowage area at the rear of the passenger cabin. The weight of the pet and container will be counted as part of the passenger’s 20kg allowance. Customers with a pet in the hold will be asked to board the flight last and depart first. They will be required to carry the pet in its container on and off the aircraft themselves. Dogs weighing more than 5kg will not be accepted for carriage on the Jetstream. Dogs weighing more than 5kg will not be accepted for carriage on the Jetstream.
