The ADA does not cover airlines. Airlines are covered by the Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA).

Airlines are allowed to require specific documentation.

My mistake. But I think it might be similar to the ADA rules since the website specifies documentation only for emotional support animals or psychiatric service animals, so I assume

>Airlines can request specific documentation and/or 48-hours advance notice for emotional support animals and psychiatric service animals.

Also, I assume that Dept of Transportation website is now out of date with the newest rule changes requiring only service dogs.
