Animal Transport
Finnair Cargo provides safe and quick animal transport services to most direct Finnair destinations. Bookings for animals must be made through a forwarding company, for example Travelcargo-Petexpress. Finnair Cargo transports animals from outside Finland as far as Helsinki. Animal shipments are generally not available within Finland as no special cargo is allowed on domestic flights. Jetpak can provide information on goods that can be accepted for transport within Finland.
When shipping live animals, it is important to book the flights well in advance, and to ensure that you have all the necessary documents in compliance with the regulations of the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
Each destination country may also have additional regulations and agreements in place. The easiest way to find more detailed country-specific information is to contact the local consulate of the destination country.
Please note! Primates and canines intended for laboratory, experimentation or other exploitation purposes are never accepted.
