Service Dog Aloka Granted In-Cabin Travel for Sri Lanka Peace Walk

The upcoming 'Walk for Peace' in Sri Lanka has garnered significant attention, partly due to the confirmed participation of Aloka, a certified service dog. Aloka has been granted special permission to travel in the passenger cabin of the aircraft, rather than the cargo hold, a privilege extended due to its status as a service animal. The canine will accompany Venerable Pannakara Thero, who is leading a delegation for the event, and will have a dedicated seat alongside him. Aloka, an Indian-origin rescue dog, is widely known as 'Aloka the Peace Dog' for its previous involvement in similar peace walks. This unique travel arrangement has drawn considerable local and international interest.
