No more in the hold. Now all dogs and cats can travel in the airplane cabin, next to their owners.

The Enac board of directors, on May 12, will establish new rules that expand the possibility of transporting four-legged friends on planes together with their owners. Until now, large ones went in the hold.

The MIT announced it, underlining the "great satisfaction" of Matteo Salvini "who had supported a solution in this sense".

But what will the Enac resolution establish? That "it is permitted to transport pets in the cabin, housed inside a special carrier that can also be placed above the seats, provided that it is adequately secured using seat belts or other anchoring systems".

Furthermore, "the total weight of the animal and the carrier may exceed the current limits, but not exceed the maximum weight allowed for an average passenger."
