Pet Policy Overview

Xiamen Airlines appears in China-route data, including Canada-China and Europe-China airport pairs, but its official conditions limit ordinary small-animal transport to domesticated cats and dogs on domestic nonstop Xiamen Airlines flights, excluding transit flights. For international cat relocation planning, this should be treated as a blocked or verify-before-booking operator rather than a recommended pet route.

Key Details

Pet Fee

Not a normal international cat option; verify directly

Weight

Verify only if Xiamen confirms a permitted domestic nonstop pet booking

Carrier or crate

Xiamen-approved live-animal container if accepted

Planning tip

Do not rely on an international Xiamen route result as proof that your cat can travel. Contact Xiamen Airlines before booking and ask whether small-animal transport is accepted on the exact operating flight, aircraft, date and route. If the answer is not written and specific, choose another confirmed pet pathway.

Restrictions

Official conditions state that small animals are limited to domesticated cats and dogs, and transport is limited to domestic nonstop Xiamen Airlines flights, excluding transit flights, with prior consent and required Chinese transport documents. Xiamen does not accept animals other than dogs as service animals.
