Pet Friendly Charter Flights

There is a chance that standard airline policies are too strict, so your pet may suffer from a lack of comfort and difficulties in traveling. Still, pet-friendly jet charter flights ensure that your four-legged friend is comfortable, too. Our specialized pet-friendly charters provide an easy and comfortable travel environment for you and your pet, allowing you to arrive at your destination without any worries.

Why Private Aviation Avoids Many Commercial Pet Travel Restrictions

Commercial air transport carriers operate on a large scale. Their pet rules are formulated with a focus on standardization and efficiency. Even well-meaning airline personnel have no flexibility but to adhere strictly to set guidelines. A well-behaved, healthy, and well-managed dog may still be disqualified from travel on grounds that it either exceeds weight criteria or falls within breeds restricted by air transport carriers.

The private aviation industry does not work on that model. Each flight is a world of its own, driven by customization. The aircraft, crew, routing, and timing are determined for a particular set of passengers. Therefore, there would be no constraints as there are in public air travel.

Breed restrictions, for instance, are not applicable when traveling on private jets. If there are restrictions, they will most likely be imposed by destination authorities, not by anyone operating planes. Heat embargos imposed on the transport of pets also do not apply here, as these pets will be traveling in the cabin.

That does not mean that safety considerations are overlooked within private aviation. It just means that safety considerations are determined on an individual basis.

What Kinds of Pets Typically Fly Privately

The majority of private air transport for pets consists of dogs and cats, as they are the most common pets. However, it should be noted that, based on size, control, and regulation requirements, other pets travel via private air transport. Pets that qualify include birds, rabbits, and some other small pets.

The aircraft cabin size, along with the number and duration of passengers and pets on board, affects these considerations. A single large dog on an international flight will be transported differently from two small dogs on a short local journey.

This is where experience matters. We know how to match aircraft type to real-world cabin use, not just passenger seating charts.

A Guide to Hassle-Free Travel

Whenever you decide to fly in a private jet with your pet, preparation of all the necessary documents is required. While each country has it’s specific requirements, in most cases the following documents are needed:

• Pet passport;
• Fit for travel animal health certificate;
• Valid vaccinations;
• Microchip documentation.

General aviation makes air travel simpler, but it will not supersede government regulations regarding entry. Pets traveling abroad are governed by various rules and restrictions depending on the country.

Health certificates, vaccination documents, and microchip IDs are usually necessary. Import permits may be required in advance, or waiting times are necessary if documents are not complete.

The benefit of private air travel is that rules become something that can be prepared for.

Life Onboard With a Pet

Flight crews on private aircraft are experienced in working with pets. Although they are not pet handlers, they know how to maintain a smooth cabin environment and make necessary adjustments to temperature or illumination.

Pets usually stay on the cabin floor, either beside their owner or, if there is enough room, on the owner’s lap. Carriers will be provided, if necessary, but most pets will travel in the cabin without crates. Effective communication will prevent misunderstandings.

The ambiance is likely to be quieter and less stimulating than on a commercial flight. There are no packed terminals, public address systems blasting messages, and people rushing. For some animals, flying privately can be less stressful than flying commercially.
