Revealing the 7 most popular private jet for pets travel in Asia
Due to the epidemic and strict control in Asia in general, it becomes impossible for pet owners to fly their pets via commercial airlines like Cathay Pacific or Virgin Atlantic. Therefore, pet owners have turned to charter a private jet via sharing. This blog will look at most commonly used private jet for pets travel in asia.
Sharing a private jet while flying with pets features below:
- Due to cost optimization, you would try to upload as many as 10 or more pets. Due to travel restrictions or immigration rules associated with pets in destinations (such as the UK), pets owners have to coordinate and teamwork well to fulfill the share jet’s departure timing.
- Cage to be used an onboard private jet. There are 2 types of private jet owners: 1. the owners who do not accept any pets 2. the owners who accommodate pets subject to the size of the cage. The principle is the cage should be a size that allows reasonable room inside the cabin for servicing or safety purposes.
