According to Air Busan's official pet policy, approved companion animals such as dogs, cats and birds may travel internationally in the cabin if the total weight including carrier is no more than 9 kg. The carrier must measure less than 115 cm across all three dimensions and stay within 41 × 21 × 24 cm on each side. The airline states that checked pet transport is not available on international routes. Pet spaces are limited, so obtain confirmation in advance from its booking center on 1666-3060. Separately prepare health and quarantine certificates and any permits required by the departure and destination countries. A pet transportation declaration is required at airport check-in.
