SkyWest Airlines is a regional operator. It flies as Delta Connection, United Express, American Eagle and Alaska SkyWest — so there is no separate “SkyWest pet policy.” Your pet travels under the pet policy of the mainline carrier that sold your ticket and operates the route. This page tells you which policy applies and links you straight to it.
Why SkyWest has no pet policy of its own
SkyWest Airlines (IATA code OO) is the largest regional airline in North America. It does not sell tickets or publish a consumer pet policy — it supplies crews and aircraft to four mainline partners. When you book a “SkyWest-operated” flight, you actually bought a ticket from one of these carriers, and their pet rules govern your trip:
| If your ticket is with… | SkyWest flies it as… | Official pet policy to follow |
|---|---|---|
| Delta Air Lines | Delta Connection | Delta pet travel policy → |
| United Airlines | United Express | United traveling with pets → |
| American Airlines | American Eagle | American Airlines pets → |
| Alaska Airlines | Alaska SkyWest | Alaska traveling with pets → |
How to tell which one is yours: check the airline name on your booking confirmation and the operating-carrier line on your itinerary (it will read “operated by SkyWest Airlines as Delta Connection / United Express / American Eagle / Alaska”). Follow that carrier’s policy for carrier size, cabin vs. hold, fees, brachycephalic-breed limits and health paperwork.
