Exciting news for pet owners flying internationally from Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL)!

Luka, an adorable Lhasa Apso puppy, was the first pet to travel overseas, flying to Dubai via Doha with Qatar Airways on June 6. Luka belongs to Rajesh Susheelan and Kavitha Rajesh from Attingal, Thiruvananthapuram. With Rajesh managing a business in Dubai, the couple was thrilled to take Luka along with them.


What Does the New Service Offer?


CIAL's pet export service is designed to make traveling with pets as convenient as possible. Here's what you can expect:


1. 24/7 Air-Conditioned Pet Station


Keep your pets comfortable at any time of day.


2. Special Cargo Section for Animals


Safe and secure transport for your furry friends.


3. On-Call Veterinary Services


Expert care is available whenever needed.


4. Customs Clearance Center


Hassle-free procedures for international travel.


5. Facilitation Center


Smooth handling for passengers traveling with pets.


Previously, Cochin Airport only allowed domestic pet travel, but this new development will enable pets to be flown abroad in specially prepared cages.


Additionally, CIAL is working on setting up an ‘animal quarantine’ center, which will eventually allow for the direct import of pets from other countries.


Cochin International Airport’s new pet export facility is a game-changer for pet lovers in Kerala. Now, you can embark on your international adventures without the heartache of leaving your beloved pets behind. It’s a significant step forward in ensuring that our furry family members can be part of our global journeys.
