PAL's Firearms Policy

VISIT REFERENCE PAGE HERE!

As per Transport Canada Regulations, rifles and shotguns will be accepted on PAL Airlines as checked baggage only and are applicable to baggage fees.

Firearms are acceptable as checked baggage, subject to the following guidelines:
  • The firearm must be unloaded, and must have a secure locking device on the mechanism of the weapon (i.e. the safety lock must be engaged).
  • All checked baggage containing firearms must be affixed with a “Firearm” tag and a “Priority” tag. This assures the passenger that the bag will ride.
  • A maximum of 5 kgs or 10 lbs of ammunition per passenger will be accepted.
  • Ammunition must be securely packaged in a strong outside container of wood, metal, or fiberboard OR in the original inner carton and securely packed inside checked baggage to prevent shifting or accidental functioning.
  • The ammunition must be kept separately from the firearm case.
  • A “Priority” tag and an Ammunition sticker must be applied to the container or suitcase carrying the ammunition.
  • Both hard-sided and soft-sided firearm cases are accepted, providing the case concealing the firearm is locked and all the above policies are followed.
  • PAL Airlines passengers are required to complete a Firearms Declaration Form once these rules are complied with.
