Iceland Air Pet Policy
IN CABIN TRAVEL, CHECKED BAGGAGE OR CARGO TRAVEL:
As of November 1, 2024, Iceland Air will no longer accept live animals on passenger planes, with the exception of service dogs. All pets must fly though
their cargo-only service on flights departing from New York or Liege in Belgium. All flights must be arranged through a licensed agent.
HEALTH CERTIFICATE
Many airlines require a a health certificate
indicating that the pet is healthy enough for travel, is free of diseases communicable
to humans and has been properly vaccinated, especially when traveling in the
cargo section of the aircraft. A Health Certificate completed by your
veterinarian within 10 days of travel is required by Iceland Air when your pet is
traveling under an air waybill as air cargo.
INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL
If you are traveling to another country, Iceland Air will want to see
that you have the proper documents to enter that country with your
pet. Most countries have their own version of a Veterinary
Certificate. In addition, some countries require an Import Permit. Find
pet passport forms and instructions
in the Pet Travel Store.
HOT AND COLD WEATHER RESTRICTIONS
When runway temperatures are above 84F (29C) degrees at the departure
airport, Iceland Air may refuse to board your pet as cargo
or checked baggage. When the weather is very
cold with a runway temperature below 45F (7C) degrees at the time of
departure, Iceland Air may require what is called an
Acclimation Certificate. Learn more about the pet travel airline temperature restrictions.
