Animals on Planes – level 1

19-08-2019 07:00

This news is from the USA. The Department of Transportation is a government agency there. It makes rules for transportation.

This agency sends out new instructions. The instructions are about animals on planes. Airlines cannot ban a type of cat or dog from their airplanes. However, if there is a dangerous animal, the airlines do not have to take it on board.

If you cannot see and you need a dog, you can fly with your dog with no problem. You do not have to tell the airline before you fly. However, if you do not have a serious medical problem and you want to bring an animal, you must tell the airline about it before you fly.

Difficult words: government agency (an institution of ‘bosses’ of a country who tell people what they can or cannot do), ban (stop, tell to leave), on board (on the plane).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
