Do you fly dogs & cats on the plane together?
Yes, DIMC will fly with both dogs and cats on the same plane.
How many dogs/cats can you fit on the plane?
On average, we transport about 75 animals per flight. The exact number depends on the size of the animals being transported. Flights with medium to large dogs may accommodate closer to 50 animals. Each flight requires a minimum of 50 animals to operate at full capacity. Refer to our Crate Capacity Example for details on previous flights.
How are the pets transported, what type of kennels?
All animals are transported in plastic vari kennels (no wire crates). After unloading, receiving partners are responsible for the kennels and should return broken-down crates on the next flight to keep them in circulation for sending shelters. Please note that the exact kennels may not return to the original shelter.
How are flight dates selected?
Flight dates are planned in advance to allow partners to coordinate logistics. Once partnerships and routes are established, DIMC aims to provide monthly flights for consistent partners. Flexibility from both sending and receiving partners is greatly appreciated.
