      Delta Air Lines Announces Embargo on Pets As Checked Baggage
      M2 Communications
      Delta Air Lines will implement its annual embargo on the acceptance of pets as checked baggage from 15 May through to 15 September.

      During this embargo period, customers may transport their pets by shipping them as cargo under the Pet First programme or transporting them as carry-on luggage. The airline's Pet First programme is available from Atlanta, Cincinnati, Dallas and Salt Lake City, and is designed to address the special needs of warm-blooded animals shipped as cargo without their owner.

      Those customers wishing to transport pets as carry-on luggage may bring their pets (dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, rabbits, hamsters and guinea pigs) into the passenger cabin for a fee of USD75 when travelling within the US or Canada. The animals must fit comfortably in a kennel measuring 17"L x 12"W x 8"H.

      New airline law
      Ten animals were killed, injured or lost by six U.S. airlines in May, the first month for which carriers were required to report to the government.

      A large dog escaped his kennel in the cargo hold of an Alaska Airlines flight and killed an Abyssinian cat named Tango in one of the four deaths reported Thursday by the Transportation Department in Washington, D.C. Five animals were injured, and one was lost, the report says.

      "It has been a hidden secret for so long how many animals are lost, hurt and killed," said Barbara Listenik, a Brooklyn, N.Y., artist who campaigned for the reporting requirement. "That's why I fought so hard for this."

      In April 2000 Congress enacted the law for airlines, which transport about 500,000 animals a year. The information, which the government will disclose monthly, "will help consumers make informed decisions about whether and how to travel with pets," the Department of Transportation said.gesting a toxic substance, possibly antifreeze, on a US Airways Group Inc. flight, the report says.

      Injuries and a loss were reported by Northwest Airlines Corp., Continental, Alaska Air Group Inc's Alaska, Frontier Airlines Inc. and Delta Air Lines Inc.'s Comair.

      "Obviously one injured or killed pet or animal onboard an aircraft is too many," said Jack Evans, spokesman for the Air Transport Association, a Washington trade group whose members include major U.S. carriers. The 10 incidents reported show problems are "the exception rather than the rule," he said.
