Singapore Airlines to ban emotional support dogs from flights

The ban will begin on 1 April 2023.

Starting 1 April 2023, travellers flying with Singapore Airlines will no longer be allowed to bring their emotional support dogs on flights.

The airline defines emotional support dogs as “ companion dogs that alleviate psychological disabilities.”

Before the ban, emotional support dogs were allowed to fly with their owners without additional charge as long as they complied with “specific conditions, regulations of departure, transit, or destination country.”

Meanwhile, the airline said assistance dogs will still be allowed on flights. SIA defines assistance dogs as dogs “trained to perform certain tasks to assist persons with disabilities.”

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
