• Carriage of animals

   

   

  We don't carry live animals as cargo. However, pets are welcome on Loganair’s flights except routes operated by the following aircraft:

  • Twin Otter – used predominantly on flights for Barra, Tiree and Campbeltown
  • Embraer 145 - We accept pets booked for certain Embraer 145 operated routes, but this is subject to hold capacity; pets cannot be carried on G-SAJI, G-SAJG AND G-SAJH due to the hold type.

  If clarity is required regarding which aircraft operates your service, please contact our call centre.

  Pets will always be carried in the hold subject to available space unless an assistance dog is needed. Puppies must be at least 12 weeks old to travel.

   

  Cats and dogs

  Cats and dogs may be carried as accompanied baggage on domestic flights. The pet checks in with you at the passenger terminal and rejoins you on arrival in the baggage hall at the destination airport. You are responsible for putting your pet in a suitably approved container. For full details on requirements for pet carriage, please click here. Please note we are unable to carry pets on international flights.

  The charge for a pet carriage is £50 one-way.

  To carry your pet, we must ask you to complete this form; it should be completed at the airport and handed to our agents when your pet is accepted; the form can be downloaded here.

   

  Other animals / reptiles / fish

  Loganair cannot accept rodents (i.e. guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, rats etc.), rabbits, chickens, reptiles (i.e. snakes, turtles etc.) as either carry-on or checked/accompanied baggage or cargo. Any special requests out with this should be made via Loganair call centre on 0344 800 2855 (Mon-Fri 0800-1800, Sat 0800-1200, Sun 1400-1800).

• Carriage of Dangerous Goods

   

   

  Loganair holds a CAA approval to carry dangerous goods but only exercises this on the Aberdeen-Sumburgh-Aberdeen route.

  Please contact the Loganair Cargo Manager for further information on – 0141 842 7160.

• Carriage of Human Remains

   

   

  Loganair and its service providers can offer a sensitive and efficient service to professional organisations involved in transporting human remains.

  Experienced staff are committed to providing supportive, understanding solutions for your particular needs. Unfortunately, we cannot carry full-sized adults remains due to the aircraft size.

  Human remains (Ashes) can be carried as baggage and best carried as hand baggage but can be checked in.

  Please get in touch with the appropriate cargo office at the departure airport.

• Liability

   

   

  Loganair’s legal liability for the carriage of cargo is governed by the Conditions of Contract-Cargo on the reverse of the shipping documentation, referred to as the Air Waybill.

  An extract from the Conditions of Contract is detailed below.

• Conditions of Carriage

   

   

  Notice 

  Suppose the carriage involves an ultimate destination or stop in a country other than the country of departure. In that case, the Warsaw Convention may be applicable, and the Convention governs and, in most cases, limits the liability of carriers in respect of loss or damage to the cargo.

   

  Definitions

  1. As used in this contract, ‘carrier’ means all carriers that carry or undertake to carry the consignments hereunder or perform any other services incidental to air carriage hereunder; ‘Warsaw Convention’ means the Convention for the Unification of specific rules relating to International Carriage by Air, signed at Warsaw, 12 October 1929, or that Convention as amended at The Hague, 28 September 1955, whichever may apply to carriage hereunder.
  2. Carriage hereunder is subject to the rules relating to liability established by the Convention unless such carriage is not “international carriage” defined by that Convention. To the extent not in conflict with the foregoing, carriage hereunder and other services performed by the carrier are subject to:
  (i) applicable laws (including national laws implementing the Convention), government regulations, orders and requirements.
  (ii) applicable tariffs, rules, conditions of carriage, regulations and timetables (but not the times of departure and arrival therein) of the Carrier, which may be inspected at any time at its offices and airports operating regular services.
  3. The agreed stopping places (which may be altered by Carrier in case of necessity) are those places, except the place of departure and the place of destination, set forth on the face hereof or shown in Carrier’s timetables as scheduled stopping places for the route.

   

  Limitations of liability 

  4. Except as provided in Carrier’s tariffs or conditions of carriage, or by any applicable law, in a carriage to which the Convention does not apply, Carrier’s liability shall not exceed US$20.00 or the equivalent per kilogramme of any consignment lost, damaged or delayed. In cases of loss, damage or delay of part of the consignment, the weight to be taken into account in determining the Carrier’s limit of liability shall be only the actual weight of the package or packages concerned. Claims shall be subject to proof of value. Any exclusion or limitation of liability applicable to Carrier shall apply to and be for the benefit of Carrier’s agents, servants and representatives, and any person whose aircraft is used by Carrier for carriage and its agents, servants and representatives. For this provision, Carrier acts herein as an agent for all such persons.

   

  Carriages and expenses 

  5. Carrier may substitute alternate carriers or aircraft without notice and with due regard to the interests of the shipper, substitute other means of transportation. The carrier is authorised to select the routing or to change or deviate from the routing shown on the face.
  6. The charge specified on this courier air consignment note does not include any appropriate customs duties or taxes, and the carrier is authorised (but not obliged) to advance any such duties and taxes in respect of the goods, and the shipper and consignee are jointly and severally liable to reimburse the carrier, therefore.
  7. The consignment is deemed to be consigned from the shipper named on this courier air consignment note to the consignee named at the address as shown overleaf. If the consignee refuses to accept delivery at such address, if the carrier cannot deliver to such address, or if such address is incorrectly completed, the consignment shall be dealt with by the carrier’s Conditions of Carriage. The shipper guarantees payment of all charges and advances.

   

  Notice of Claims and Time Limitations on Actions 

  8(i). No actions shall be maintained in the case of damage to goods unless a written notice, sufficiently describing the goods concerned, the appropriate date of the damage and the details of the claim, is presented to an office of the carrier within 14 days from the date of receipt thereof, in the case of delay unless presented within 21 days from the date the consignment is placed at the disposal of the person entitled to delivery, and in the case of loss (including non-delivery) unless presented within 120 days from the date of issue of the Air consignment note.
  (ii). Any right to damages against the carrier shall be extinguished unless an action is brought within two years from the date of arrival at the destination, from the date on which the aircraft should have arrived, or from the date on which the transportation stopped.

   

  Compliance with Laws and Regulations 

  9. The shipper shall comply with all applicable laws, customs and government regulations of any country to, from, through or over which the consignment may be carried, including those relating to the packaging, carriage or delivery of the consignment, and shall furnish such information and attach such documents to the air consignment note as may be necessary to comply with such laws and regulations. Carrier is not liable to the shipper or any other persons for loss or expenses due to the shipper’s failure to comply with this provision.

   

  Agents 

  10. A Carrier issuing a courier air consignment note for carriage over lines of another Carrier does so only as its agent.
  11. No agent, servant or representative of Carrier has authority to alter, modify or waive any contract provisions.

   

  Security

  12. The Carrier reserves the right to open and inspect any consignment for security screening.
