Aero Nomad Airlines pet policy: flying with a dog or cat

✓ Rules checked: August 13, 2026Source: the airline's websiteKA

Aero Nomad Airlines carries dogs and cats in the cabin up to 8 kg and in the hold up to 50 kg. The pet's place is booked in advance — at least 48 h before departure.

Direct flights reach 7 countries, but flying there and taking a pet are different questions: the destination country has its own entry rules.

Cabin Allowed

8kg including the carrier

Carrier: 25 × 30 × 45 cm
Booking: at least 48 h before departure

The carrier's rule+

IMPORTANT about the code holder: our index lists KA as either 'Cathay Dragon' (Hong Kong) or (conflict) 'Aero Nomad Airlines'. Cathay Dragon ceased operations in October 2020.
The code KA has been reissued: since November 2021 it belongs to the Kyrgyz carrier Aero Nomad Airlines (ICAO ANK, hubs Bishkek/Osh).
KA's routes in data/reference/routes_graph.json (DEL-BSZ, LHE-BSZ, OSS-BSZ, OSS-VKO, SGC-BSZ, VKO-OSS — all via Bishkek(BSZ)/Osh(OSS)) confirm Aero Nomad specifically.
The discrepancy is recorded in data/raw/airline_code_reassigned.json.
Official page aeronomad.kg/en/information/tripwithpets — a Next.js site with no server-rendered content (curl/WebFetch only got the menu and meta tags); the full text was read via the Playwright browser after verifying document.URL matched the requested address.
Verbatim: 'The dimensions of the container for carriage in the aircraft cabin must not exceed 45x30x25 cm or 126 cm in the sum of three dimensions, the weight of the container must not exceed 8 kg.' Two animals of the same origin in one container with combined weight up to 8 kg count as ONE pet: 'Two cats or two dogs of the same origin can be transported in one container if the total weight does not exceed 8 kg.
In this case, it will be considered 1 (one) pet.' No price is stated on the page — fee_estimate left null.
No explicit hour-based notice period ('by prior agreement with the air carrier'), advance_notice_hours left at the default 48.
For routes to India (Delhi) — an extra requirement: an NOC certificate (Provisional Animal Import Permit Certificate) from India's quarantine service, vaccination and veterinary certificates — without these documents the airline will not accept the animal on this route; a documentation requirement, not a structural ban, kept in notes.

Hold Allowed

50kg including the crate

The carrier's rule+

Verbatim: 'Animals weighing more than 8 kg are transported in the luggage compartment in stronger and more reliable containers under the same conditions.
Animals weighing more than 50 kg are transported through the cargo terminal' — above 50 kg becomes true air cargo (a different subject per methodology, not a passenger's accompanying pet), so 50 kg is recorded as the max_weight_kg upper bound.
Baggage/cargo containing food products cannot be carried in the same hold compartment as animals (contamination risk).
No price is stated — fee_estimate null.

Countries with no petsNone

Snub-nosed breedsNot stated in the rules+

Brachycephalic breeds are EXPLICITLY accepted, verbatim: 'The airline accepts cats, dogs (including brachiocephalic breeds), birds and other pets, as well as service dogs.' Both banned flags left false. Separately, outside the brachycephalic concept: 'Dogs belonging to potentially dangerous/fighting breeds and domesticated domestic animals, which in their natural habitat are representatives of wild fauna, are transported only in the baggage compartment' — potentially dangerous/fighting breeds are allowed ONLY in the hold (cabin is closed to them). This matches the cargo_only_breeds field's purpose, but no specific named breed list is given on the page (vague wording 'potentially dangerous/fighting breeds'), so cargo_only_breeds was left empty — insufficient data to map to breed_id in data/reference/breeds.json, inventing a list is not allowed.

Where it flies — and whether pets can come along

Aero Nomad Airlines flies direct to 7 countries according to the schedules. Flying there is not the same as taking a pet: the destination country has its own entry rules, and the carrier itself closes some routes to animals.
