Dubai-based airline expands pet transportation with end-to-end handling, temperature-controlled facilities, and streamlined booking process
Emirates SkyCargo Introduces Specialised Pet Transport Team in UAE
Emirates SkyCargo has launched a dedicated UAE-based service for transporting pets, offering specialised booking support and end-to-end handling designed to improve safety, compliance and customer experience.
The new service addresses growing demand from UAE residents relocating with pets, particularly during periods of regional flight disruptions affecting Middle East travel schedules.
Dubai Pet Travel Gets Streamlined Process with Dedicated Support
The airline confirmed the team will oversee all pet-related bookings originating in the UAE, providing end-to-end coordination from documentation through to flight handling and delivery. Pet owners can now access the new Emirates pet team on SkyCargoPets@emirates.com or call +971 600 566 661.
Temperature-Controlled Facilities and Priority Handling for Pet Safety
Emirates SkyCargo operates a specialised animal handling facility in Dubai designed to support transit, arrival, and departure flows for live animal shipments. Operations include temperature-controlled transfer, dedicated loading procedures, and prioritised handling to reduce stress during transport.
Pets are loaded last and offloaded first, while transit connections are structured to ensure sufficient care intervals. On-site veterinary support and animal care specialists manage feeding, cleaning, and monitoring during transit.
Documentation Requirements and Booking Process for UAE Pet Travel
You’ll need photos of your pet standing naturally inside its travel crate, a pet passport with rabies vaccination records and microchip number, a rabies blood test report (if applicable), an EU health certificate (for EU-bound travel), a UK annexe (for UK destinations), import permits if required, and a valid UAE MOCCAE Veterinary Health Certificate.
For UAE pet owners planning international relocations, Emirates’ dedicated service offers professional handling during uncertain regional travel conditions.
