Air lines which will take animals usually keep them in a special cargo area. That area has uniform pressure which doesn't harm any animal including parrots of all kinds, small, medium and large. The only thing that the airline requires is a carrying case which meets the standards of the airline. That info can be gotten from the airline. They won't accept animals in any other type of carrying case--- Dave
