Policy on hunting trophies and products under CITES Appendix 1

As one of the founding signatories of the Buckingham Palace Declaration and member of the United for Wildlife Transport Taskforce, Emirates has long been a global leader in the fight against the trafficking and exploitation of wildlife. The airline has a zero-tolerance policy on the carriage of banned species, hunting trophies or any product associated with the illegal wildlife trade, which has been extended to include donkey hides. Emirates proudly holds the IATA IEnvA Illegal Wildlife Trade certification, underscoring our commitment to preserving the beauty and biodiversity of the natural world to serve as a source of inspiration for current and future generations of travellers.

We will not accept the following for carriage:
1. Products and parts of endangered animals, including hunting trophies, and plants (listed in CITES Appendix I)
2. Hunting trophies of elephants, rhinoceros, lions, and tigers
3. Donkey skins

A complete list of restricted wildlife shipments can be found in the IATA Live Animals Regulations (LAR) manual (under the Emirates Operator Variations).

Emirates proudly holds the IATA Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT) certification, underscoring our stance on a zero-tolerance policy towards the illegal trade of wildlife and wildlife products worldwide.
