The flag of South Africa is composed of two equal horizontal bands of red and blue, with a yellow-edged black isosceles triangle superimposed on the hoist side of the field. This triangle has its base centered on the hoist end, spans about two-fifth the width and two-third the height of the field, and is enclosed on its sides by the arms of a white-edged green horizontally oriented Y-shaped band which extends along the boundary of the red and blue bands to the fly end of the field.

Flying with pets to or from South Africa requires planning around three things: the country's import rules for live animals, the policies of the airlines that serve South Africa's 59 commercial airports listed on FlyWithPets, and the relief-area facilities available in transit. This page brings together every airport in South Africa that the OpenFlights dataset records as having a published IATA code, so you can browse from a major international hub down to the smallest regional strip. Each airport page includes a relief-area briefing and travel notes for travellers carrying dogs or cats; pair that with the airline guide for your specific carrier and you will arrive at the gate with the documentation, kennel preparation, and timing that South Africa's authorities and your airline both expect.
