Acceptance of live animals

Important. If the sender does not agree on all requirements for sending live animals, U6 will be forced to refuse transportation. This can also happen if the sender does not approve the size of the animal.

By order of the Director General of the Airline, a responsible person is appointed to the SOPGP for the organization and transportation of live animals.

Limitations

The airline applies the following restrictions (more stringent than those described in the LAR Guide) when transporting live animals.

Note. When transporting animals on U6 flights, all government restrictions published on the IATA LAR must be respected. AK does not transport live animals on the domestic flights and on international flights, except for the transport of daily chickens, breeding eggs and live animals, which are transported between legal entities (zoos).

The Airline does not accept the following animals for transportation to aircraft A 319/320/321 as cargo:

  • live animals transported by cash on delivery;
  • pregnant females of any kind of animals;
  • females of any species of animals that gave birth within 48 hours before departure;
  • any sick or injured animals.

Animals may only be transported in special clean containers.

Shipper License and Veterinary Documents

Transportation of live animals for commercial purposes is accepted only from licensed senders (their agents) in accordance with local legislation (if necessary). Agents accredited by IATA are desirable for all types of dispatch of live animals.

The sender’s license for the transport of live animals must be attached to the air waybill and accompany the cargo along the entire route. Any corrections / additions or deletions in the Animal Passport / Certificate make this document invalid. In this case, a new document must be obtained from a licensed veterinarian.

Certificates and Approvals CITES

Consignors (exporters and importers) endangering animals of wild flora and fauna must follow the current CITES rules and, before uploading to U6 aircraft, confirm the safety of their actions with the CITES Certificate obtained at the CITES branch in this country (countries). The certificate is given in Appendix C6.1.

Note This also applies to pets that are the property of the accompanying person and are not a commercial cargo.

Container requirements

The sender must follow the basic requirements prescribed in the Rules (safety, form, design).

Necessary rigidity and safety of the container:

  1. an undamaged container made of non-toxic materials;
  2. a container that prevents unauthorized access, accidentally protruding the animal (serviceability of doors, fencing and ventilation);
  3. a container that can withstand the activity of the animal, such as biting, scratching and other damage associated with transportation;
  4. a container that prevents injuring the animal inside the container (lack of needles and sharp ends) and people who handle and transport this container, especially in the case of dangerous animals;
  5. containers with no leaking bottom.

Ventilation and containment conditions:

  1. the container should be equipped with appropriate openings that allow air to circulate, even if some of the openings were forced by another load;

  3. a container equipped with a place where the animal can lie (straw and hay are prohibited);

    Acceptance of animals for carriage

    1. The checklist of live animals (Check List) should be used for preliminary verification of the animal and the documents necessary for transportation, before loading on board. The Check List is used as a tool to verify compliance with the requirements of the Rules. A sample Check Sheet is given in Appendix C6.2.
    2. Check Sheets must be updated in accordance with IATA requirements. Personnel should use only updated IATA Check Sheets published in the Rules if U6 Check Sheets are missing or inaccessible. Authorized agents can use both Check Sheets provided by Ural Airlines and Check Sheets of any other form that meets the requirements of the IATA Live Animal Regulations (current version).
