Flight travel is conducted in accordance with certain rules and regulations to ensure the safety and efficiency of air traffic. These rules for flight travel are developed and regulated by aviation authorities, such as international organizations (for example, the International Civil Aviation Organization, ICAO) and the national aviation authorities of each country.
Prohibited items from being carried as carry-on baggage on an airplane vary depending on the airline's specific rules and policies, as well as the security regulations of the country or region in question.
During flight travel, there is a list of prohibited items in hand luggage, in accordance with certain rules and restrictions on the carriage of various items. These prohibited aircraft items and restrictions may vary depending on the airline, type of aircraft and other factors.
However, there are some general categories of items that are often prohibited items or restricted in carry-on luggage. Below we have prepared a general list of prohibited items by airlines.

It is essential to review the specific policies of the airline you plan to travel with to ensure you meet all requirements for transporting pets in the passenger cabin. Some companies may only allow small animals into the salon, while others may have specific restrictions.

All airline companies and their personnel are required to follow these standards to ensure the safety and security of air travel. Flight travel may also be subject to customs and immigration controls at each country's border.
It is always important to check the specific policies of the airline you are traveling with and follow the security protocols of your origin and destination airport. Some items can be carried in the hold but not in carry-on baggage, so it's a good idea to check this before you travel.
