Air Calin flies the routes that make Pacific pet travel possible at all, and that alone puts it on the shortlist for anyone moving to or from New Caledonia. What the published policy does not spell out is the part that matters most: which cabin and hold options actually apply to your aircraft and route. Cooper has taught me to ask that question in writing, early, every single time.
Air Calin's pet policy splits into cabin and cargo. This page summarizes the weight limits, fees, brachycephalic-breed restrictions, and carrier specifications for both modes — sourced from the airline's official pet pages.

Here's what I wish someone had told me about carriers this size: the answer you get by email is the answer that counts at check-in, so collect it before you pay for anything. Ask Air Calin to confirm the pet option for your specific flight number and aircraft, keep the reply, and let Pawgo assemble a personalized plan around the route while you wait for it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Air Calin require a health certificate for pets?

Can I ship my dog as cargo on Air Calin?

What if my flight is delayed past my health certificate validity?
If the certificate window expires before you board, you'll need a re-issue. Build a 1-2 day buffer between the cert date and departure to absorb minor delays.
What happens if I forget a document?
At the destination airport: at best, an extended inspection while you produce backup; at worst, the pet is held in quarantine or returned to origin at your cost. Bring printed copies.
