Information and request from EGDF

We are forwarding the following request from the European Guide Dog Federation, feel free to reply.

European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC)response to flying with assistance dogs.

ECAC set the guidelines that advise all European Airlines on many policies, including the carriage of guide and assistance dogs.

We have been corresponding with them for some time to address the confusion surrounding their recommendations on travelling with an assistance dog; joining forces with our colleagues in ADEu, ADI and IGDF.

We know that ECAC have been looking at this problem and are pleased that they have asked for our help in gathering evidence.

You can read the full response from ECAC here - ECAC Letter.

If you could please let us have any examples of the problems you, or your guide or assistance dog partnerships, have encountered when travelling or attempting to travel by air, in the last few years, that would really help in providing proof.

Either send me an email with the details - jane@egdfed.org, or complete the form from the link below, please complete one form for each journey.
