Important IATA Crate Requirements

Essential information for safe and compliant pet travel

Crate Size Requirements

The crate must be large enough for your pet to stand, sit, and turn around naturally. The height should be equal to the height of your pet's head when standing, plus 3 inches. The length should be equal to the length of your pet's body plus 2 inches.

Ventilation Requirements

IATA-compliant crates must have ventilation openings on all sides. The openings should be covered with strong wire mesh or bars that are properly secured. The ventilation should be sufficient to prevent overheating and ensure proper air circulation.

Material Requirements

The crate must be made of rigid plastic, metal, or wood. It should be strong enough to withstand normal handling and stacking during transport. The crate must be leak-proof and have a solid, non-slip floor.
