IATA crate size calculator
Four measurements in, minimum internal crate dimensions out, using IATA Container Requirement 1 and the 10% uplift for snub-nosed breeds.
[ quick answer · 2 september 2026 ]
IATA Container Requirement 1: internal length equals the pet\u2019s nose-to-tail length plus half its ground-to-elbow height; width is twice the shoulder width (three times for two animals); height is the standing height to the ear tip plus bedding. Snub-nosed breeds need a crate 10% larger.
Can two pets share a crate?
What if the crate is too small at the cargo terminal?
