The only airline in the world only to pet, Pet Airways, has already made its maiden flight.
Company initially operate five U.S. cities: New York, Washington DC, Chicago, Denver and Los Angeles, but plans to spread across the U.S..
The company president, Dan Wiesel, he argued the need for the company to the fact that pets traveling by air are carried in the hold and are treated as baggage. "The experience is terrifying for pets and could cause serious physical and emotional damage, even death, "Wiesel has said, adding that most pet owners do not want to subject their pets to this experience, but so far had no other option. "
An option in which the founders of Pet Airways have been able to detect your business opportunity, since, with the promise that your pet is safe and comfortable in the flight deck, not in charge "are heading to a market of more than 70 million cats and dogs so far flying with their owners in the U.S. each year.
Pet Airways has started its operations using at the moment Beech 1900 aircraft, with capacity for 19 passengers, where pets fly in the main cabin and not charging, which is fully lit, climate controlled, with good circulation of fresh air required for pets. "Later, the company plans to offer health services, food and water, if necessary, for the scales.
During the flight, a trained animal handler continuously monitors unique to the passengers, who, on arrival are not left in a warehouse or on a ramp, but are delivered in an area specially designated as "pet room" directly to their owners or the person authorized by them.
The rates offered are not particularly cheap, and that from 299 USD to fly from Los Angeles to New York one way it seems expensive, but of course the type of customer using these services certainly do not think like me.
