(2) when he plans to include airlines in the arrangements available under the pet travel scheme. [109360]

Ms Quin

All airlines flying into the UK were invited to express interest in taking part in the Pet Travel Scheme. Eight have done so. Discussions are still underway with the following airlines with a view to agreeing their "Required Methods of Operation":

  • British Airways,
  • British Midland,
  • Finnair, Iberia Airlines,
  • Lufthansa,
  • Qantas.

Once these have been agreed the airlines concerned will be able to enter the scheme.
