In the terminal
The airport's pet category includes dogs (excluding designated dangerous breeds), cats, rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs and hamsters.
- A dedicated carrier is recommended indoors in terminals and transport areas.
- Where unavoidable, the airport permits an approximately 50 cm leash or pet stroller for eligible animals (not designated dangerous breeds); check ID tags with owner/contact/registration details where applicable.
- Outdoor areas such as curbside/long-term parking generally allow a short leash or stroller under the published conditions.
- Designated dangerous dogs and other live animals are restricted to travel-related access with carriers. Marked assistance dogs have exemptions.
- Clean up pet waste immediately.
Air travel and quarantine are separate
- For departure, check the destination country's animal quarantine authority and your airline's pet carriage rules.
- Bringing dogs or cats into Korea from abroad requires a government-issued veterinary quarantine certificate from the country of export, per the airport guide.
- Show the certificate to an animal quarantine officer before passing customs. Missing or incomplete documents can lead to return or quarantine detention.
These terminal rules do not guarantee that rabbits or hamsters can be carried on a specific flight. Always check the airline and destination's regulations.
