Rejected petition Allow pets from Turkey to travel to the UK on direct flights
The government should either remove Turkey from not listed countries or allow direct flights to the UK with our pets.The current requirements for travelling with pets are very strict and despite having to wait for 4 months we cannot fly directly to the UK and can only use approved routes or agencies
More details
Many pet owners in Turkey must follow strict rules to bring their pets into the UK. The rules for bringing animals from "not listed" countries are time consuming, costly and cause stress for both us pet owners and our beloved pets. The government must allow us to fly directly into the UK after making us wait 4 months before we can travel. The change in this rule will mean that families will be able to travel directly without having to travel via other countries or pay extortionate agency fees
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We're not sure whether you'd like the Government to add Turkey to the listed countries that require certification but not further rules, or if you'd like changes to the list of permitted direct flights once these conditions have been met.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
