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.
