After a spike in pet deaths in the last month, Qantas has placed a ban on dog flights while the airline reviews its current policies.
the airline wanted to balance the ability for owners to travel with their pets while ensuring animal welfare.
“We know many owners love to take their pets with them when they travel, so we’re designing a way to help reduce the risks that are inherent with these particular breeds.” For that reason, the airline limits flights for boxers, pugs and bulldogs to five hours, and requires owners to sign a waiver for one of these breeds to be flown any further.
