General Conditions of Carriage

8.8.4 Are there any restrictions on the transportation of animals in the hold or pets in the cabin on Corendon Airlines flights?

At some airports where Corendon Airlines operates flights, there are restrictions on the transportation of animals in the hold and pets in the cabin.

Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden FKB [1], Memmingen FMM [2], Friedrichshafen FDH [3] and Kassel Airport KSF [4] prohibit the access of pets arriving on flights from non-Schengen countries.

However, flights departing from the above destinations are not subject to these restrictions. The reason is that there is no veterinary clinic at these airports.

According to current regulations, we are not able to carry pets to/from the United Kingdom on our flights – whether this be in the cabin (PETC) or in the cargo (AVIH). Click here to read the details regarding travelling to the UK with pets.

8.11 Electronic Devices

It is most important that the crew’s instructions regarding the use of electronic devices in the cabin are obeyed.

PED (Personal Electronic Device) is a for consumers produced electronic device. They may be carried as cargo, or on board in the cabin of the aircraft by the crew and by passengers, without any necessary approval.

Most of the electric apparatus can be classified in this category, including devices working on batteries, or using an energy source available in the aircraft. PEDs are divided into 3 categories:

8.11.1 PED

Devices that transmit few signals, often only commanded by the user, such as photo camera’s, radio receivers, audio and video players, electronic games and toys and in the aircraft available equipment used by the crew while working.

8.11.2 T‐PED (transmitting PED)

Electronic devices transmitting via an antenna electronic magnetic waves with high frequency energy output. Examples of T-PED are radiographic commanded remote controls (such as controls for toys), walkie-talkies, mobile phones, satellite phones, computer with a mobile telephone data port, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth equipped devices. Devices, transmitting frequencies, such as mobile phones are classified as PED when they are in “flight mode”. During certain periods of the flight passengers may use them, but these devices should be turned off during take-off and descent.

8.11.3 C‐PED (Controlled PED)

Apparatus under the supervision and application of Corendon Airlines. C-PED’s can be classified as PED or as T_PED. A mobile phone in “flight mode” may be used during certain periods of the flight, but should be off during take-off and descent.

Even if they are turned off, most PEDs are still connected to their energy source and therefore certain functions continue to work, such as the built-in clock, or databank.

Wrist watches use batteries, but they do not transmit any signals, so the “turn off” rule is not applicable for them. For safety reasons, mobile phones and other electronic devices should be turned off during take-off and landing as soon as the “fasten your seatbelt” light turns on

Mobile devices may be used in “flight mode” after take-off as soon as the “fasten your seatbelt” sign is off, until this sign is on again.
