Live animal transport: from a cat to a crocodile
This is Fleki. He is afraid of the plane noise, but he adores planes and swift, comfortable transport, just like his owners. But what happens when your Fleki travels by a plane for the first time?
Organising transport for your pet is often more stressful for you than the pet. What is the pet’s trip like? Is it 100 percent safe? What legal requirements must I abide to? Even though it all looks immensely complicated and frightening at first glance, Fleki is completely safe in the hands of Trans Avio Tim, who will make his and your trip as simple and as comfortable as possible. Trans Avio Tim has been in the animal transport business for over 20 years; we possess the necessary international certificates for transport and have, over time, transported a number of exotic, as well as domestic, animals. We execute transport of pets on weekly basis.

It is essential to choose a suitable container
Fleki must have his own spacious transport container while travelling by plane. The container is purchased in the Pet Shop and must be of suitable size, made of firm plastic and have a metal door. Container size varies with the size of the animal. Proper size is easily determined, and when shopping, make sure you bring Fleki along, so he can test the container. The proper size is determined as follows. When the dog is standing up, there must be at least 8 centimetres of overhead space between its head and the container top. When it is lying, its nuzzle must not touch the metal door and the base of its tail must not touch the container rear end. The width of the container must be at least double to the width of the dog’s shoulders, allowing it to easily turn, sit and lie down.
