Dry Ice transportation

Dry ice (CO2) (carbon dioxide or solid carbon dioxide) for transporting blood, organs or perishables is allowed as hand luggage or documented baggage only for domestic flights (Mexico), being authorized up to 2 kilos (4 lb) per passenger. In this case the package should allow gas liberation from the carbon dioxide (it shouldn’t be hermetic).

For transporting dry ice as documented baggage, the following precautions must be taken into account:

1. Both the technical crew and transit stations will be informed of the presence of dry ice in cargo compartments.
2. Luggage containing dry ice should not be stowed in the same compartment where live animals are transported (including bird eggs).

Cargo transport with dry ice is prohibited.
