Nobody can ban service animals. Airlines could ban emotional support pets who are not properly certified as actual service animals...but they just kind of wink at the pax, collect their fares, and let the crews deal with it.
A friend of mines older sister does this all the time. She brings this old dog of her basically everywhere she goes. She's a vet and has some other friends that are doctors so she got one of them to sign off some note that she needs this dog for support or whatever. I believe she told me she just doesn't want to pay to put in down under with all the other dogs
