Large animals must be carried in the hold (pressurised, lit and heated), in a suitable container compliant with the IATA standards (the animal must be able to stand and turn around). The booking must be made in advance.

Protected species

Anyone wishing to enter with birds, fish, frogs or turtles must provide a certificate of origin provided by the country of origin. Any protected species (parrots, aquatic turtles, ornamental fish…) must be accompanied by a CITES certificate, which authorises exportation.
