Pet Shipment on AMC Charter Flights
AMC ships pets on most charter flights as a part of the normal service to DoD passengers traveling on official orders. This service is provided to Panama, Newfoundland, Azores, Guantanamo Bay, Guam, and Okinawa. Pet shipment is limited to passengers in a permanent change of station (PCS) status only. Pets are defined as dogs and cats in restricted pet spaces on flights. Reservations are handled on first-come, first-served basis through the local transportation office. The passenger must provide an approved International Air Transport Association container for pet shipment which is available at many exchange/retail stores. The passenger is also responsible and should be prepared to defray any associated costs. Pet shipments are identified in AMC Pamphlet 24-1, "AMC Pet Traffic/Transportation Office."

For additional information on pet shipments, contact the local TMO/ITO/PTO.
