Dubai, UAE – In a pioneering move that reshapes luxury aviation for pet lovers, Fly JetPets, a Dubai-based private aviation service, has launched in-cabin pet travel on international routes from the UAE. Starting immediately, pet owners can travel with their furry companions by their side in either private or shared charter jets, revolutionizing the experience for pet tourism across the Middle East and beyond.
With this service, pets no longer need to travel in cargo, eliminating one of the greatest stressors for animal lovers. Instead, they can stay beside their owners for the entire journey in comfort and safety. Fly JetPets is among the first in the region to offer such a tailored and luxury-centric approach to air travel for animals.
Meeting Rising Demand for Luxury Pet Travel
The global pet tourism market is projected to reach $4.6 billion by 2032, with the Asia-Pacific and Middle Eastern regions driving significant growth. A growing number of pet owners—particularly seniors, digital nomads, and high-net-worth individuals—are now traveling with pets as valued members of the family.
Recognizing this trend, Gunawan Wahab, CEO and founder of Fly JetPets, stated, “As a pet parent myself, I know how stressful it can be to travel with pets in the cargo. Our goal is to eliminate that stress by providing a safe, seamless, and luxurious experience for both pets and their owners.”
Fly JetPets: A Seamless, Pet-Centric Experience
Fly JetPets is not just offering flights—it’s providing a comprehensive travel experience. The company collaborates with established partners such as Jetex (Dubai-based luxury aviation services provider) and Pawsome Pets, ensuring that both human and animal passengers enjoy exceptional care.
The full-service package includes:
- Pet-friendly aircraft configurations
- In-cabin seating for pets and owners
- Customs and veterinary documentation support
- International travel permits facilitation
- Pre-boarding checkups and concierge handling
This all-inclusive model eliminates the usual red tape associated with pet travel, making the experience stress-free from takeoff to landing.
Flexible Options: Private and Shared Jet Charters
Understanding that travelers have different budgets and requirements, Fly JetPets offers two charter models:
- Private Jet Charter: A fully customized flight experience for families or individuals flying with pets, offering total privacy, personalized service, and luxury accommodations.
- Shared Jet Charter: Ideal for pet owners traveling to the same destination, this flexible model allows multiple parties to share a flight—cutting costs while retaining premium service and in-cabin comfort.
Shared flights are organized on-demand and based on passenger interest and route availability. Destinations include Europe, Asia, and the GCC region, with plans to expand based on demand.
Why Dubai Is a Natural Pet Travel Hub
Dubai is uniquely positioned to become a global center for luxury pet travel:
- Home to one of the world’s most advanced airports (DXB) with pet-friendly services
- Growing number of pet-friendly hotels, parks, and cafes
- High pet ownership among expats and UAE nationals
- Strong logistics infrastructure to support pet transit
With Fly JetPets headquartered in Dubai, the UAE is now at the forefront of pet tourism innovation, catering to an elite global clientele looking for more humane and high-end travel solutions for their pets.
In-Cabin Travel: A New Standard in Pet Aviation
Historically, flying with pets meant complicated paperwork, long waits, and the emotional toll of separation during flight. But with Fly JetPets’ in-cabin model, pets remain beside their owners in climate-controlled, spacious cabins, treated as equals throughout the journey.
These premium jets come equipped with:
- Quiet, spacious interiors
- Custom-designed pet carriers or seats
- Clean, hypoallergenic materials
- Optional pet meals, calming treatments, and play items
- On-board pet attendants (for VIP flights)
This bonding experience ensures animals feel safe, reducing anxiety and health risks during long-haul travel.
Global Pet Travel Trends on the Rise
The launch of this service coincides with a wider aviation trend: increased accommodation for pets as travel demand rises. Commercial airlines like Emirates and Etihad have introduced limited pet-friendly options in cargo or on select routes, but Fly JetPets is among the first to offer full in-cabin pet inclusion on private jets.
With millions of households treating pets as family members, and pet adoption rates soaring post-pandemic, the need for compassionate and high-end pet travel has never been greater.
Economic and Tourism Impacts
The economic implications of such a service are significant. According to UAE travel authorities, the pet travel segment is expected to contribute to niche tourism growth, especially in sectors like:
- Luxury hospitality
- High-end transportation
- Pet wellness and veterinary tourism
- Pet-friendly real estate and staycations
As the UAE continues to diversify its tourism offerings under “UAE Tourism Strategy 2031”, initiatives like Fly JetPets support national goals of attracting high-spending visitors and building new segments within travel and aviation.
