Firearm Travel Policy

At Tropic Air, we recognize that some of our passengers are licenced firearm holders and may need to travel with their firearms for professional or personal reasons.

While we respect the rights of licensed holders, the safety and security of all passengers and crew remain our highest priority. To that end, we have established a clear and consistent Firearm Travel Policy that outlines the proper procedures for transporting firearms on our flights.

We kindly ask that all passengers travelling with firearms review and comply with this policy to help ensure a safe and smooth travel experience for everyone onboard.

Requirements for Firearm Housing and Transport

All firearms must be completely unloaded — this means no live rounds in the chamber or magazines inserted. Firearms must be transported in or as a checked baggage only; they are not allowed as personal items. Passengers are required to pack firearms in a hard-sided, locked container that is secure and cannot be easily opened. You may use any type of lock, but only the passenger may retain the key or combination.

At the time of check-in, you must inform our staff that you are traveling with a firearm. You will be asked to complete a Firearm Declaration Form, which will be kept on file and attached to your flight documentation.

Ammunition is not allowed in personal item but may be packed in checked luggage. It can be placed in the same locked container as the firearm or in a separate checked bag. Ammunition must be securely packaged in a container specifically designed for that purpose — loose rounds are not permitted.

It is the passenger’s responsibility to know and comply with all laws related to the possession and transport of firearms and ammunition, both locally and at their destination.

Please also note that certain items are prohibited in your personal item, including firearms, firearm parts, loaded weapons, loose ammunition, replica or toy guns, stun guns, and similar devices. These items must be packed in or as a checked baggage, in accordance with the guidelines above.

Failure to follow these policies may result in fines, legal action, confiscation of the firearm, or denial of boarding. To avoid delays or issues at the airport, we strongly recommend checking your bags thoroughly before travel and preparing all firearm-related items carefully and in advance.

If you have any questions about traveling with a firearm or ammunition, please contact our Customer Care Center at 226-2012, WhatsApp 622-5857 or reservations@tropicair.com prior to travel.
