Service animals
Animals that are individually trained to do work
or perform tasks for the benefit of a person with
a physical disability.

Emotional support animals
Animals that:
- Provide companionship and relieve loneliness.
- Provide emotional support and help with depression,
anxiety, and certain phobias. - The emotional support animal’s presence is needed for
the mental health of the animal’s owner.
Conditions
Documentation
Appropriate documentation (such as permission to enter the destination country and proof of vaccination) is required for all service animals and emotional support animals.
International flights
- When traveling internationally, passengers must show a certificate of health for their animal, issued by an appropriate authority. In addition, passengers must show all documentation necessary for their animal to enter the destination country.
- For flights from Venezuela, animals must have an International Training Certificate. Passengers traveling with a seeing eye dog must have a Disability Certificate issued by Venezuela’s National Council for Persons with Disabilities (CONAPDIS).
Domestic flights
- For domestic flights within Panama, passengers must show proof of vaccination and a certificate of good health.
It is important that service animals are vaccinated against rabies. Passengers must have any permits that will be required upon arrival in the destination city. Such permits must include an official logo or other identifying mark. Traveling with a muzzle is recommended.
Size and number
- To comply with safety regulations, the animal’s size must not exceed the space at the passenger’s seat. The animal must fit in the passenger’s lap, or in the space in front of the passenger’s feet or underneath the seat. The animal may not block the aisle.
- Passengers are permitted to travel with multiple service animals, as long as they are able to show that their condition requires it. Passengers are responsible for ensuring that there is enough space to accommodate multiple service animals without blocking the aisle.
- Exit row seating is prohibited.
Although it is not required, passengers may purchase additional seats in order to have additional floor space to accommodate the animal(s).
Behavior
Animals may not be permitted to travel if they display disruptive behavior, such as:
- Growling
- Jumping on passengers
- Defecating in the gate area or on board the airplane
- Excessive barking, except to signal that the animal’s owner is in need or in danger
