If you can breath in it without a mask, he can too. Turtles are shipped by air freight all the time in pressurized, heated cabins.

The heat is the bigger issue.

As long as he is with you in the cabin and assuming its a commercial flight, then yes, he will be fine. Commercial Airliners are presurized.
