Singapore Airlines to ban emotional support dogs from flights
The ban will begin on 1 April 2023.
Starting 1 April 2023, travellers flying with Singapore Airlines will no longer be allowed to bring their emotional support dogs on flights.
The airline defines emotional support dogs as “ companion dogs that alleviate psychological disabilities.”
Before the ban, emotional support dogs were allowed to fly with their owners without additional charge as long as they complied with “specific conditions, regulations of departure, transit, or destination country.”
Meanwhile, the airline said assistance dogs will still be allowed on flights. SIA defines assistance dogs as dogs “trained to perform certain tasks to assist persons with disabilities.”
