The usage of animals for emotional support has increased recently both domestically and internationally. Airlines have indeed been forced into the tough decision of simply absorbing the cost of permitting ESAs on their trips without an additional fee since air travel with dogs has not been adequately controlled. As a result, they have virtually been given the same classification as mental service animals.
Regarding this matter, the authorities were bound to change their regulations. And leave it up to the airlines whether they want to treat emotional support animals as same as service animals or not. So, the nightmare happened for emotional support animal owners. Almost all airlines changed their policies regarding emotional support animals.
