Commercial airlines often restrict the transport of pets due to several reasons, from seasonal delays, sweltering heat during summer months to the number of pets that can be accommodated on the flight. And while airlines often claim the number of pet casualties is minimized during transportation, the unsuspected dangers are scary.

A flight can be a challenging experience for both pet and owner. On a commercial flight, the pet could be subjected to undue stress, injuries or even become lost. This trauma can be lessened by booking a private jet where the pet will travel in his owner’s lulling presence.
Each private company has its own set of rules and recommendations when it comes to pets. The foremost is to make sure your pet is up to date on all vaccinations and has proper documentation. Secondly, as with humans, private charter flights ensure that safety comes first. They must be on a leash at all times – to and from the aircraft, on the ground, and in the air. It is recommended that owners use harnesses, as straps can slip or choke the pet. All large pets must also occupy a seat and cannot block the aisle or emergency exit due to their weight and size.
Passengers sometimes have their pet flown alone, but then a cabin attendant always accompanies the pet. It is recommended that the pet is acclimatized to his crate weeks leading up to the trip. Place his favourite blankets and toys in the crate to make his journey comfortable. Don’t worry about your pet eating or drinking on the plane as pets can fly long distances without getting dehydrated. If the pet gets excited, you can tell the crew to play his favourite music.
Pets enjoy all the resources on a charter flight that a passenger would. From oxygen masks, vests to personalized service, every pet is pampered to it’s every need. So be confident that your pet is in well-tailored, good hands!
