AirPets Relocation Services Pvt. Ltd. (New Delhi)

AirPets Relocation Services Pvt. Ltd. is one of India's longest-running pet relocation companies, operating since 2006 from their office in Kapashera, New Delhi , positioned directly opposite the Animal Quarantine and Certification Services office, which is where your pet's export health documentation gets processed. They handle both domestic and international pet moves for dogs, cats, and birds, covering the full chain from documentation and veterinary certification to airline booking and destination delivery. If you are relocating abroad or moving across India with a pet and need a company that knows the regulatory side inside out, this is the kind of specialist operation worth calling.

What AirPets Actually Does

Pet relocation is not the same as a pet taxi or a boarding service. When you are moving internationally with a dog or cat, you are navigating a chain of regulatory requirements: a government-accredited veterinarian must certify health documents, those documents must be endorsed by the Animal Quarantine and Certification Services (AQCS), your airline must confirm the pet booking under their specific live animal acceptance rules, the destination country has its own import requirements (some require titer tests months in advance, some require import permits, some have breed-specific rules), and at the other end someone needs to clear your pet through customs. AirPets handles this entire chain. Their office is physically opposite the AQCS office in Kapashera , the government body that endorses health certificates for pet exports from India. That location is not a coincidence; it reflects how embedded they are in the documentation process.

On the domestic side, they offer domestic pet transport across India, which typically involves coordinating cargo bookings on domestic airlines along with the required veterinary fitness certificate and airline-approved carrier. For pet parents relocating within India , say, a job transfer from Delhi to Bangalore , this is a meaningful service because domestic airline pet policies vary significantly and the paperwork requirements are easy to get wrong without specialist help.

Their product line also includes IATA-approved travel kennels (listed as "Commode Kennels" on IndiaMART), which are the airline-compliant hard-sided crates required for pets travelling as checked baggage or manifest cargo. If your airline requires a specific IATA container but you are not sure which size applies to your pet, this is something AirPets can advise on as part of the relocation process.

Certifications and What They Mean for Your Pet

AirPets carries three credentials that pet parents should understand before choosing a relocation company.

The first is IATA LAR certification. IATA stands for the International Air Transport Association, and LAR refers to their Live Animals Regulations , the global standard governing how animals are transported by air. A company certified under LAR has demonstrated knowledge of these regulations. This matters because airlines hold their ground handlers and agents to LAR standards, and mistakes in crate sizing, documentation, or loading procedures can result in your pet being offloaded at origin.

The second is IPATA membership. The International Pet and Animal Transportation Association is a trade body with members in over 80 countries. IPATA members must adhere to a welfare-based code of ethics. Beyond the ethical framework, IPATA membership is practically useful because it gives AirPets access to a network of vetted partner agents at destinations worldwide , meaning at the other end of an international relocation, there is a known counterpart receiving your pet rather than an unknown ground handler.

The third is ISO 9001:2015 certification, which is a quality management systems standard. For a service business, this means documented processes, consistent service delivery protocols, and a framework for handling complaints. It is a process certification, not a pet welfare certification specifically, but it signals that the company operates with documented systems rather than ad-hoc arrangements.

International Relocation: What to Prepare

If you are planning an international move with your pet, the timeline matters enormously. Some destination countries , notably the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and parts of the EU , require rabies antibody titer tests to be completed a specific number of weeks or months before travel, and the clock only starts after a valid rabies vaccination. Australia and New Zealand have quarantine periods that must be booked and paid for before your pet even boards the plane. Hawaii, despite being a US state, has its own separate import rules. AirPets lists titer testing as one of their specialties, which suggests they coordinate this as part of the pre-travel process rather than leaving it to the pet owner to organise independently.

Their LinkedIn company page shows recent moves including a dog named Toby travelling from Delhi to the USA and a dog named Daisy moving from Delhi to Tokyo, Japan , two of the more documentation-intensive international destinations for pets. Japan, in particular, requires advance coordination with the destination quarantine authority and a detailed health certificate with specific formatting. The fact that these routes appear in their recent activity is a data point, not a guarantee, but it suggests active operational experience on complex corridors.

For pet parents relocating to over 100 international destinations as listed on their website, the process begins with a quote request. You can reach AirPets at +91-9257-123-123 (also their WhatsApp number) or email contact@airpets.in. Their website at airpets.in has a "Get a Quote" form that asks for your origin city, destination, pet species, and travel timeline.

Coverage Across India

AirPets operates from six cities: Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bangalore, and Hyderabad. Each of these cities has a major international airport and an Animal Quarantine station , the two infrastructure requirements for international pet export. If you are based in one of these cities, AirPets can coordinate the local veterinary inspection, AQCS endorsement, and airline booking without you needing to manage multiple vendors. If you are outside these six cities, it is worth calling them directly to understand what coordination is possible; domestic pet transport to one of these hubs before an international onward journey may be an option.

The registered corporate office is at 162, First Floor, Opposite Animal Quarantine Office, Kapashera, New Delhi, Delhi 110097. This is in southwest Delhi, close to Indira Gandhi International Airport , logistically sensible for a company whose core business involves airport cargo terminals and the AQCS facility.

Media Coverage and Track Record

AirPets has been covered by multiple national publications including The Print, ANI News, Deccan Chronicle, APN News, and News Track, with articles appearing in November and December 2023. The coverage positions them as a guide for pet parents navigating international pet travel from India. These are editorial mentions in established news outlets, not sponsored placements as far as the visible headlines indicate. For a relocation service, third-party editorial coverage in national media is a meaningful credibility signal, though pet parents should always verify current service quality through direct references and recent customer testimonials before committing.

The company was incorporated as a private limited entity in November 2015 (CIN: U74999DL2015PTC287240), though the AirPets brand has operated since 2006. Directors listed in the MCA filing are Varun Siddhartha and Vandana Anchalia. Company status as of mid-2026 is Active.

Getting Started with AirPets

The right way to engage AirPets is to request a quote early , ideally three to six months before your planned travel date if you are moving internationally, because some destination country requirements have mandatory waiting periods after vaccinations or titer tests. For domestic moves, the lead time is shorter, but booking in advance ensures airline cargo slots and veterinary appointments are secured.

You can reach them through the following channels:

• Phone / WhatsApp: +91-9257-123-123
