Here is the Air Arabia pet policy in plain English, checked against the official Air Arabia page on 15 Oct 2026. Air Arabia does not carry pets (assistance dogs only). Below, you’ll find what it means for your trip, plus a short checklist before you book.

Air Arabia pet policy for the cabin

The Air Arabia pet policy does not allow pets in the passenger cabin. However, recognized assistance dogs may still be accepted under the airline’s own rules.

If you want your dog or cat next to you, you’ll need a different airline on the same route. For example, Lufthansa, KLM and Air France accept small pets in the cabin up to 8 kg with the carrier. Use our pet flight search to compare the options for your pet.

Pets in the hold and as cargo on Air Arabia

Air Arabia does not carry pets in the hold as checked baggage. No pets in the cabin or hold.

Before you book: Air Arabia pet policy checklist

1. First, weigh your pet together with its carrier or kennel, because airlines check the total weight at the airport.
2. Next, check the entry rules of your destination, such as microchip, rabies vaccine and health papers. Our pet travel requirements page links to the official sources.
3. Then, book your pet at the same time as your own seat, since pet places on each flight are limited.
4. Finally, confirm the details on the official Air Arabia pet policy page, because rules and fees can change.
