Late AQCS review
Starting AQCS/NOC planning close to departure can create avoidable stress and route uncertainty.
Rabies timing confusion
Vaccination timing and certificate wording should match official India and origin-country documentation needs.
Arrival plan missing
Customers often plan the flight but forget airport handover, timing, pet comfort and India-side delivery.
