Pet Policy Summary

Viva Aerobus Pet Travel Policy Overview

Viva Aerobus permits cats and dogs to travel in the cabin under specific weight and carrier size restrictions, while dogs may also travel in the cargo compartment with defined conditions. Microchip implantation and valid health certificates are mandatory for most international routes. Service dogs and emotional support animals are accepted with appropriate documentation and travel free of charge. Brachycephalic breeds are prohibited from traveling in cargo due to respiratory risks. Passengers must ensure pets remain in carriers throughout the journey and comply with all health and safety requirements.
