[NAGDU] Delta to Require Advance Documentation for Service, Support Animals to Fly - WSJ

[Julie Johnson]

David,

How does the requirement of having a vaccination record of less than one 
year old mesh with the fact that rabies is the only legally required 
vaccination and in most places it's given every three years?

I'd also like to know, definitively, if Delta is requiring other 
vaccinations or health certifications, other than the rabies vaccine.

Marianne is correct.  I think it should be noted that:

1.  Air carriers are not required to comply with the ADA under the Air
Carriers Accessibility Act (ACAA).

2.  Under the ACAA, air carriers may require records of vaccinations for
service animals.

3.  Under the ACAA, air carriers may require a request for accommodation
of a service animal prior to boarding and provide a form for doing so.

The new Delta policy regarding service animals does not require
certification of service dog status.  It only requires that veterinary
certificates of vaccination be less than 1 year old, if you are
traveling with a service animal.  When I was at GDF, we were advised
that we should always carry our vaccination certificates with us when we
traveled by air.

I think the new policy was carefully researched by Delta.  Now, whether
it makes sense or not, is an entirely different thing, as many here have
pointed out.
