Pet Transport Information
According to their type, pets may be carried into the cabin or must be checked-in.
Korean Air permits small household pets, such as dogs, cats, birds, etc., and if a pet exceeds 5kg/11lbs including the carrying box, it must be checked in.
Transporting animals and/or insects other than dogs, cats, and pet birds through a plane is not allowed and thus we recommend our passengers make inquiries about transportation of such an animal and/or insect to a freight agency.
As regulations regarding the transport of pets can vary by country, passengers should confirm what documents, such as quarantine certificates, health certificates, rabies immunization reports, etc., are required, and should prepare them accordingly.
