Air Canada's pet ban plan partly nixed

Family pets still have time to collect Air Canada air miles, at least on
international flights.
The Canadian Transportation Agency suspended an application filed by Air
Canada looking to bar pets from its baggage compartments Wednesday
afternoon, effectively delaying the controversial application on
international flights for the time being.
"An official complaint was filed on June 22 by Mr. Peter T. Griffiths that
prompted the investigation,prompted the investigation,<WBR>" said Jad
Advisor of Canadian Transportation Agency.
The suspension affects flights between Canada and the U.S. as well as other
international flights to and from Canada. Pets will still not be allowed on
Air Canada domestic flights starting July 15 since the Canadian
Transportation Agency does not have jurisdiction to take similar action with
regards to domestic routes. Pets will have to travel through its cargo
division.
"We will respond to the CTA on this matter," said Isabelle Arthur,
spokesperson for Air Canada
"Air Canada will have to submit evidence to us within the next 30 days
(about) why they think their proposed amendments to discontinue animals as
checked baggage on international flights is reasonable, just and not unduly
discriminatory,discriminatory,<WBR>
