There
are three main types of aircraft used by the airlines, Heavy Jets, Regional
Jets and Turbo Props. Heavy Jets are those capable of
trans-continental and inter-continental flight, while the others are
used for shorter tips of a few hundred miles. Generally only the Heavy
Jets are equipped with pressurized and climate controlled forward cargo
holds necessary to carry animals. Regional Jets and Turbo Prop
types are not usually so equipped and therefore can not carry animals in
their cargo hold. However each airline orders aircraft to their own
specifications so there may be instances where one airline can carry animals
on their smaller aircraft while another can not, when in doubt, check with
the airline in question. There are many different aircraft in each
category, a few examples of each are shown. |
