SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. (USTCNS) --- After a three-month test, Air Mobility Command has instituted a new policy that increases the maximum allowable weight for shipping dogs and cats from 99 to 150 pounds. The new limit is the combined weight of both the pet and its kennel on Patriot Express contract carrier flights to and from overseas locations.

The policy, which will begin this month, also states that no more than two pets per family will be allowed. The only exception will be for those who shipped more than two pets overseas under the previous policy outlined in Defense Regulation DOD 4500.9-R.

Cindy Rothenbach, a traffic management specialist with the Passenger Policy Branch at AMC, said, "If passengers fall into this category they must provide their travel office with documentation that shows proof that they moved with more than two pets. This proof could be either an original pet waiver approval or a boarding pass."

To prevent any delays in boarding, passengers should ensure that an accurate measurement of the total weight of their pet and its kennel be entered into the GATES, or Global Air Transportation Execution System, prior to arriving at the aerial port. Passengers who arrive at the port with a pet and kennel weighing 20 percent more than that recorded in the system may lose the space reserved for their pet.

Rothenbach said passengers are also required to use a hard-shell kennel that allows their pet enough room to stand up and move around comfortably. Soft-sided or collapsible containers will not be accepted.
