FEES FOR CARRYING PETS

Pet transportation is not included in the free baggage allowance and incurs an additional fee. Fees and rules for pets accepted on Ajet flights may vary.

If the pet and its carrier weigh 8 kg or less, they can travel in the passenger cabin. If the total weight exceeds 8 kg, the pet and its carrier are transported in the aircraft’s cargo hold. A fixed fee is charged based on the combined weight of the pet and carrier. Pets transported in the cabin (PETC: Pet in Cabin) are classified as a single category for weights ranging from 0-8 kg, whereas pets transported in the aircraft’s cargo hold (AVIH: Animal on Hold) are classified as light (0-23 kg), medium (24-32 kg), and heavy (33 kg+).

Pet transportation fees may vary according to the international destination. Please visit the Pet Transportation Fee Calculator page to determine how much you will pay.

Pet fees are charged per carrier. If a passenger travels with two cats in a single carrier, the fee is charged for the carrier rather than the number of animals.

Pet Fee Pricing for Stopover Flights:

If there is a stopover, the fare will be calculated separately from the stopover point to the destination. The total charge is the sum of the two flight segments.

When separate calculations are made, each trip is evaluated in its own category and calculated using the PETC/AVIH tables from the publication.

Example 1: For PETC travel between FRA and JFK, the FRA-IST transportation fee plus the IST-JFK transportation fee will be charged.

Example 2: For travel between EDI and SIN with AVIH, the sum of the EDI-IST and IST-SIN transportation fees will be charged based on the pet’s weight category.

Pet Fee on Interline Flights:

The table below calculates pet fees for interline flights arriving and departing Türkiye, as well as transit flights.

Pet Fees for Arrival to / Departure from TR (Interline):

For flights arriving or departing from the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, you must obtain an import permit from the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus’s Veterinary Department before we can transport your pet. This permit is valid for 60 days. You must also obtain an export health certificate approved by the veterinary department of the country from which you are departing at least 48 hours in advance.

You must have your pet’s passport and a health certificate proving that they have been vaccinated. Dogs must be vaccinated against Parvovirus, Distemper, Hepatitis, and Leptospira, while cats must be vaccinated against Feline Enteritis and Feline Influenza. Your pet’s rabies vaccination must have been completed at least one month and no more than 12 months prior to the flight; you must bring the original laboratory report indicating the level of rabies antibodies in your cat’s or dog’s blood.  Pets that are under the age of three months are not permitted on Turkish Airlines’ flights to the TRNC. Pets over the age of 10 weeks may be transported with their mother if they have a passport, have lived in the same place since birth, and have not come into contact with wild animals that may carry infections.
