Flying with a dog on Sky Express: common questions

Does Sky Express accept flat-faced (brachycephalic) breeds?
Sky Express — Advisory, not a ban. Sky Express names ten dog breeds (Boston Terrier, Boxer, Bulldog, Chow Chow, Brussels Griffon, Japanese Chin, English Toy Spaniel, Pug, Pekingese, Shih Tzu) and five cat breeds, but its own wording is a caution — "we recommend you consult your veterinarian"…
Does Sky Express suspend dog transport in hot weather?
No numeric temperature threshold or seasonal embargo is published, despite serving Greek-island airports in high summer heat.
Are assistance dogs accepted on Sky Express?
Sky Express — Assistance dogs. Certified guide dogs travel free of charge, no carrier required, with 48 h advance notice — longer than the standard 24-hour pet booking window. Certification from IGDF, EGDF, ADI or an equivalent national body.
