Tianjin Airlines Co., Ltd. (天津航空) carries dogs and cats in the cabin up to 7 kg. The service is paid: 3000 CNY per flight. The pet's place is booked in advance — at least 24 h before departure.
Snub-nosed breeds are not accepted in the hold and in the cabin. A separate breed ban applies to 43 breeds. Direct flights reach 7 countries, but flying there and taking a pet are different questions: the destination country has its own entry rules.
A personal plan combines the airline's rules with the destination's
The conditions that send people back to the ticket desk: closed destinations, breeds, heat limits and how early the pet must be booked.
The primary list ('dangerous dogs', item ①) on tianjin-air.com is word-for-word identical to West Air's document — both are HNA Group carriers sharing a policy template. Separately, the official PDF agreement ('In-Cabin Pet Transport Agreement', downloaded directly from tianjin-air.com; the homepage did not display this clause) contains a THIRD item absent from West Air's document — an explicit ban on flat-faced (brachycephalic) breeds, item ②: flat-nosed dogs or cats: all Bulldogs (e.g. French Bulldog, English Bulldog), all Pugs, Boxer, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Shih Tzu, Bull Terrier family (e.g. Bull Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier), American Bully, Boston Terrier, Brussels Griffon, Affenpinscher, English Toy Spaniel (both naming variants), Lhasa Apso, Pekingese, Chow Chow, Japanese Chin, Shar Pei; cats — Burmese, Himalayan, Persian, Exotic Shorthair (Garfield cat). This is a direct, explicit named brachycephalic ban — not inferred from a general refusal — so brachycephalic_*_banned=true is confirmed by T0. The PDF document covers the DOMESTIC (国内) program; no separate international PDF agreement for the TSN-ICN route was found, so applying the same breed list to the international flight is not 100% confirmed — flagged verify_recommended.
Tianjin Airlines Co., Ltd. (天津航空) 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.
