Our Story
In 2001, Dan Wiesel and Alysa Binder faced a common problem: the lack of suitable pet travel options on airplanes. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) categorizes pets as “baggage,” restricting them to under-seat space or cargo hold. Unable to bring their Jack Russell, Zoe, in-cabin during flights between Florida and California, the Wiesels experienced stress and uncertainty when Zoe had to fly in cargo. Determined to find a solution, they founded Pet Airways after realizing many pet owners shared similar concerns about putting their pets in the cargo hold.
Why Choose Pet Airways?
Pets on Pet Airways are “pawsengers™”, not baggage.
· Pet Airways is a pet-only airline dedicated to the safe and comfortable transportation of your pet.
· Pets are continuously monitored on the ground and in the air by our vet tech staff.
· We fly our own planes, and pets are located in the main cabin, right behind our pilots.
· Our main cabin is fully lit at all times so pets can see their surroundings.
· Once it is OK to move about the cabin, our onboard pet attendant walks up and down the aisle several times during the flight to ensure all our pawsengers™ are enjoying the flight.
· On cross-country flights, we stop halfway across the country so that all dogs can be given a nice walk to stretch their legs, have potty time, and get water and food. Cats are checked to ensure their kennels are clean and then fed and given water.
· Upon arrival, pawsengers™ are offered water before being delivered to their authorized human.
· We provide the carriers, so pet parents don’t have to buy one (saving between $75-200)
