Background

Italy's Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport approved an ENAC resolution permitting pets up to 30kg in the cabin on domestic commercial flights, subject to specific operational measures and authorisation requirements, with up to six animals per flight1. ENAC subsequently issued guidelines for pets over 10kg, including securing carriers to seats near windows, advance crew and passenger notification, limits per flight and possible buffer zones for allergy sufferers2.
