Colombia seeks global pet travel rules after animal deaths; ICAO may set standards.
Colombia has urged the UN's International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to establish global standards for transporting pets on airplanes, following several high-profile pet deaths.
The push comes amid rising pet travel due to increased ownership and post-pandemic travel recovery, raising concerns over safety issues like ventilation, temperature, containment, and long layovers.
While ICAO cannot enforce rules, countries typically follow its adopted standards.
The proposal has support from about two dozen nations in Latin America and Europe, as the agency currently lacks specific guidelines for animal transport.
