Service dogs, guide dogs or other assistance dogs travel free of charge in the cabin with Widerøe. If the dog is not on duty, it must be transported in a crate in the cargo hold.
Guide and service dogs include:
- Guide dogs for the blind, visually impaired and deaf
- Dogs trained to assist physically disabled persons (with mobility impairments) in their daily lives
- Tracking dogs belonging to the police, military or customs, trained to detect explosives, narcotics or participate in rescue operations
Tracking dogs and identification
The dog handler (or trainer) travelling with a service dog "on duty" must present either police, military or customs identification at boarding, including identification for the dog.
The same rule applies when the service dog is in training and travelling with its trainer.
This is to ensure that the animal is not refused entry to the cabin or must be placed in the cargo hold during transport.
The dog must be on a lead to secure and control the dog during taxiing, departure, landing and turbulence.
