Flying with Pets in Private Jets

Traveling with pets should never mean compromising on safety, comfort, or peace of mind. Uno Jet specializes in private jet solutions that allow your pets to fly by your side—whether you're planning a transatlantic relocation, a weekend escape, or a last-minute business trip. Unlike commercial flights where pets are often relegated to the cargo hold, private charter flights ensure your furry friends remain in the cabin with you. Each flight is tailored to ensure a seamless journey for both pet owners and their animals, backed by a team that understands the specific nuances of pet-friendly air travel.

Private aviation offers a stress-free alternative for clients traveling with pets, combining comfort, privacy, and control unmatched by commercial airlines. Uno Jet facilitates pet-friendly charter experiences where animals travel alongside their owners in the cabin—never in the cargo hold, ensuring your pet's safety and well-being throughout the journey.

This service appeals to high-net-worth individuals, families relocating with pets, and executives unwilling to compromise on the well-being of their furry friends. From pet documentation to airport clearances, every flight is handled with precision and care to make traveling with your pet as stress-free as possible.

What Is Flying with Pets Service?

In private aviation, flying with pets refers to allowing domestic animals—typically dogs and cats—to travel inside the aircraft cabin rather than as checked cargo. Unlike commercial air travel, private charter flights accommodate pets under personalized conditions, ensuring emotional security and physical comfort throughout the journey.

This approach is especially relevant for international travelers facing stringent regulations or for those whose animals experience stress or medical complications when separated from their owners. When you fly private, your pet's needs are prioritized alongside your own.

How Does It Work?

Uno Jet streamlines the process through an end-to-end concierge protocol:

Initial Consultation – Our aviation experts review pet species, breed, documentation, and travel preferences.
Regulatory Compliance – Required documents such as microchip certification, rabies vaccinations, and (where applicable) tapeworm treatment are verified according to the Pet Travel Scheme requirements.
Custom Itinerary Planning – Routes are selected based on pet entry permissions and airport capabilities, whether traveling within the EU or to non-EU countries.
Cabin Configuration – Comfort items and pet safety accessories are prepared prior to takeoff, ensuring your pet has a comfortable space during the flight.
On-Ground Coordination – Staff liaise with handlers, customs officials, and FBOs (Fixed-Base Operators) to ensure seamless clearance, including coordination with the Department of Agriculture where required.

This highly coordinated service reduces waiting times, minimizes stress for pets, and eliminates bureaucratic friction at arrival points, making the boarding process smooth for you and your furry companions.

What Can You Expect to Invest?

Costs for private charter flights with pets vary based on:

Aircraft category and cabin size
Route length and international pet clearance procedures
Specific requirements for your pet's needs (e.g., breed handling, onboard containment, temperature sensitivity)
Entry regulations at the destination for pets with up-to-date documentation

While there are no standard fares, clients typically invest more for pet-inclusive charters due to additional ground handling, permits, and FBO services.

Have Questions About Flying with Pets?

Can my pet travel in the cabin with me?

Yes. On private jets, pets remain in the cabin with their owners, ensuring emotional comfort and eliminating risks associated with cargo transport that are common when you fly commercial or private without proper arrangements.

What documents are required for international pet travel?

Common requirements include a valid microchip, rabies vaccination certificate, and in some regions (e.g., the EU), an Animal Health Certificate issued within 10 days of travel. Regulations vary by destination, and Uno Jet provides full compliance support to help your pet travel safely.

Are there breed or size restrictions?

Private aviation offers greater flexibility than commercial airlines. Most breeds are accommodated, and aircraft selection takes pet size and temperament into account to ensure they have a comfortable space.

How far in advance should I book a pet-inclusive charter?

Flights can be arranged on short notice; however, 48–72 hours is optimal to allow for documentation verification and route planning when you want to fly your pets.

Can I fly with more than one pet?

Yes. Multiple pets can travel on the same charter, provided space and safety standards are met. The aircraft will be selected accordingly to accommodate all your furry friends.

Are sedatives required or recommended?

Sedation is not mandatory and should only be considered after consultation with a licensed veterinarian. Many pets on private jets travel better without medication in the calming presence of their owners.

What destinations support pet-friendly arrivals?

Key airports in the UK, EU, and U.S.—including Farnborough, Teterboro, Le Bourget, and Zurich—are approved for pet arrivals and offer expedited customs clearance for animal entry, making the journey as stress-free as possible.
