Best Shipping Pet Airlines Recognized by IPATA!
IPATA recognizes the importance our airline partners play in the transport of family pets. IPATA members publicly recognize their top choices as the Best Pet Shipping Airlines in each region. Members vote for the airline within their region and then FROM their region to each of the other regions in the world in each of five areas:
- Communication
- Compliance with the LAR
- Pricing
- Reliability
- Transit Care
Separate awards are given to the best pet shipping airline in the Americas, in Asa/Oceania, in Europe and in the Middle East/Africa regions based on the IPATA member airline with the most votes in each region.
Pets have become an essential part of many families, however when faced with relocation, moving beloved pets safely can be a daunting task. Fortunately, professional pet shippers are available to help move all breeds of pets, no matter where they are going.
Airlines play a crucial role in the transportation process, serving as a vital partner in ensuring pets are transported safely and efficiently.
IPATA’s trusted network of pet shipping professionals, with members in over 90 countries servicing more than 700 airports worldwide, adhere to a strict Code of Ethics and follow the IATA Live Animal Regulations. They are provided with extensive training and certifications, all designed to prioritize the welfare of animals during transportation. This commitment establishes IPATA as the GOLD Standard in pet shipping - but none of this would be achievable without our airline partners!
Members are asked to vote on the best pet shipping airline within their regions based on the airline reliability, value for money, communication and how well they comply with the regulations such as the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Live Animal Regulations (LAR).
The safe and humane transport of all animals is a top priority for the professional pet shipper and the airlines involved.
