Traveling with Pets & Animals on Sunair Aviation
At Sunair Aviation, we know that pets are part of the family. We aim to make traveling with them as safe and comfortable as possible. Below are our guidelines for bringing animals on board, including policies for dogs, other pets, and unaccompanied animals.
Dogs
Dogs/Animals under 15kg – Must be in an airline-approved crate (Max dimensions: 800L x 700W x 600H). $120 per flight.
Dogs/Animals over 15kg – Must be in an airline-approved crate (Max dimensions: 800L x 700W x 600H). $160 per flight.
Note: All dogs must be leashed unless crated. For energetic or nervous dogs, crating is recommended for safety and comfort.
Dogs must be crated at the following airports:
Napier
Gisborne
Hamilton
Other Animals
Between 10-20kg – $160 per flight. Over 20kg – $180 per flight.
All animals must be transported in an airline-approved crate (Max dimensions: 800L x 700W x 600H). Sunair does not provide crates, so passengers must bring their own. Please contact our office with the weight of your pet prior to travel.
Unaccompanied Animals
We offer transport services for unaccompanied animals, which must be in a crate to prevent free movement.
Flat Rate: $195 per animal or crate. A waiver/release form must be completed before travel. Unaccompanied pets must be booked by phoning us at 0800 786 247. Sunair is not responsible for unaccompanied animals after the flight. Many of our airport counters are unmanned, so ensure someone is available to receive the animal at the destination.
